Well I've basically been reading a lot about salvation and someone says you can disqualify yourself from salvation there is even the story of Euau who could not find repentance after selling his birthright Im afraid I may be one of them :/
 
It's a huge debate on here so don't expect any clear answers.
But referencing OT salvation in the NT era is backwards. So I wouldn't base anything off Esau.

So, have you repented and sought to get right with God but for some reason believe He will not allow it? Or are you still in a state of backsliding and wondering if He will allow you repentance?

Rest assured, that while continuing in a backslidden state, there is no amount of doctrine that will give you peace and assurance of your salvation, even though we who are born-again have that assurance. Understand I am not just talking about committing a sin. It is about the direction you are going. Are you going towards God or moving away from God.

It seems like both like I said its double mindedness and I need to take care of it but a few weeks ago I believe God pointed me to a way out. I believe he wants me to witness to a friend who recently became Buddist I did realize when I was talking to her I do indeed have faith I think I just need people I can passionately talk to about it with in person so I do have hope although it maybe wavering at times

Do you have a church you attend? Those are the people you need to be around.

Sounds good. I have three things you should be aware of when looking for a Church.

1.) Do they believe the Bible is the Word of God?

2.) No acceptance of homosexual preachers.

3.) No acceptance of women peachers.

As the Lord leads you.
