1 | Can one be deceived that he is saved? | Matt 7:21 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 186419 | ||
Regarding Matt 7:21-23 - Doesn't it seem as if their self-deception is obvious and observable since, although they claim allegiance to Christ as Lord, they are practicing lawlessness? 1 John 2:19 - Their self-deception is made observable since they have left the fellowship of the Church; their allegiance to Christ is obviously false because they have separated themselves from the body of believers. Again, James 2:14 seems to address those whose allegiance is false because they do not demonstrate faith in Christ. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems as if the verses above note obvious and observable differences between those whose allegiance to Christ is true and those who are false. My question arises on the premise that one shows every indication of being saved but is in reality not saved. In other words, is it possible that one, although showing outward indications that they are saved - for example, profess faith in Christ, attend fellowship, and do what is right - actually be lost? |

2 | Can one be deceived that he is saved? | Matt 7:21 | DocTrinsograce | 186422 | ||
Hi, Lookn... Yes, certainly! That is why we are to look for search for evidences of our salvation, as we are told throughout the Scriptures. See Matthew 13:20... the people represented there all think they are saved. But their reaction to trials in their life indicate that they were not saved at all, despite having "received the Word with joy." In Him, Doc |

3 | What are the "evidences for salvation"? | Matt 7:21 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 186462 | ||
Doc, 1. What are the "evidences of our salvation"? 2. How do these "evidences" give assurance of my future salvation? 2. Can someone error in perceiving these "evidences" as indications of genuine salvation when, in fact, they are not saved? 3. How can one who presently receives the Word with joy know for sure that when trials come by their way in the future, they will not fall away? |

4 | What are the "evidences for salvation"? | Matt 7:21 | New Creature | 186471 | ||
Greetings For me personally, one of the evidences of salvation, is a hunger to feed upon the word of God. Another evidence is when you desire to spend more time with the people of God, than you do with people that don't know God Again another basic evidence of genuine salvation is a changed life. By that I mean a life that now goes in the opposite direction it previous went before becoming saved. (see 2 Cor. 5:17) A person genuinely saved, has a new outlook on life. His thoughts are not what they once were. His desires have changed. His attitude concerning material things has changed. He has been given a new heart. Scripture says you will have the internal witness of God's Spirit within you witnessing with your spirit that you are indeed a child of God. (Rom 8:16) There are more evidences, but I believe those I have listed will give a person sufficient proof of having genuine salvation Blessings NC |
