"Am I saved? Am I born again? Can I be sure? If so, how?"
When I was young, I used to go around and around asking myself these questions. I would get on my knees and ask God, with whom I felt no connection at the time. I knew that Jesus said, "Ye must be born again" in John 3:7. I wanted to be sure I was.
I know that we here at CC have lots of doctrinal discussion and can often get into some gray areas that are still mysteries and not fully understood. Just thought that we should make a thread to establish whether or not we could be sure, and don't have to be worried about, whether we are going to heaven or hell if we should die before we wake.
Try to start with a 'yes' or 'no' and elaborate from there. Try to address the person that may wander through here seeking peace and blessed assurance.
