I think we must check every poster here with scripture. God says to check the spirits. That does not mean that we must condemn other posters because we think they are wrong, but we are to check what they say against scripture while keeping our love for them.
God says that there are rules of thumb we may use. He tells us we may know His disciples by their love for each other. If someone personally attacks others, rather than saying they think they are wrong, then it is time to beware.
God says to also watch what people do, if what they do reflects Him. Not to condemn, but whether to follow. Right now, God is directing His chosen ones back to Jerusalem and Satan is against God having this happen. If it can be stopped then perhaps the coming showdown with the forces of Satan can be stopped. Look how the Muslims are fighting it, it tells us about following Muslims. We are to watch and pray.
God says to follow Him, not men's ideas, even of Him. We are to be suspect of those who want to lead us only to what some person or institution thinks of scripture. We are told that in the last days there will be more and more of this, and we are to beware.

I then trusted a few good Christian friends, and chatted through things, and I guess got over stuff a bit then. I have never had assurance of my Salvation, and to be honest have never felt like I believed in Jesus quite enough. I have no recollection of really becoming a Christian. However, from I was 16 I really felt like I trusted in God, I felt like I was relying on Him, I was even praying about going to the mission field after I graduate.
Then about 3 weeks ago, like a light turning off, I felt the doubts come back. It feels like they are smothering me, I feel like I am drowning. I am doubting everything. It started with my salvation - but now it's God's existence, whether I really believe in Jesus - if I believe enough. I don't feel like I can believe anything I think, I don't know how I even feel. I'm worried there might be something mentally wrong with me too, like depression or anxiety. I want people to pray for me, and I think I know that if I turned away from all this I would be wrong. I know I wasn't working hard enough on my relationship with God beforehand, but I don't know how to function at the minute. I am constantly reading, praying, trying to get back to normal. I don't feel anything at the minute, I don't even see sin in my own life. I am falling apart. I need God so much, I need Jesus. I know that. But I don't know how to believe.
I'm supposed to be going away for three months this summer, in like a month, and I'm terrified of going away feeling like this. I don't want to go to the mission field if I'm not even sure I have God.
take comfort in His Wisdom and power.
you don't have to be brave all the time,
don't hide your doubts and fears from those who love you.
share your burdens, the Lord's people will help you carry them.
try to see your Father's Love and Glory in creation.
notice the little things. and the big things
i don't know where you are going on missions.
maybe it's you who will be ministered to there
sometimes it works that way.
go back to the basics - His creation - including you - and stand there on what you know to be true.
rebuild your faith from there. keep it simple.
Peace to you in the Lord Jesus Christ,
