It is not for me to judge who is saved and who is not. Only God and the individual knows.
I am certain because the Holy Spirit that dwells within me assures me.
I find it very difficult to understand how one could live in doubt and keep one's sanity.
Again, not judging, just stating where I am in my relationship with my Lord and Savior.

who you would regard as lost yet use words similar to yourself. So yes we presume much, and
can also be wrong, but that is where humbleness comes in.
Someone can write me a cheque. It is a guarantee of money, but only has value when it is
cashed. And the cash itself is also another type of promise. Sometimes all these fail, but
probably not. It is this area where humbleness and boundaries come in. Without checking
knowing, exploring do we find the truth. Nothing is certain, all is assumption.
I know christians who are not sure they have a relationship at all. Or others who had this sense
but now have completely lost it. Interestingly a promise does not rely on ones emotional conviction
but on the promise giver, Praise the Lord.
When you realise there are no absolutes, just assumptions, you begin to see the boundaries of
conviction and certainty. Now you can assume there are absolutes, which is ironic, because many
do not understand this is an assumption. They will get very angry at me, but I do not define these
boundaries or realities, they are what they are.
One indicator of people who have got it wrong when they start attempting to proclaim absolutes.
