Bible Note: You said. "Before I became a believer, as I was reading the Bible, I came to understand many verses, which understanding I still hold to be true today as a Christian". So, you claim to be a Christian.. Now let it be clearly understood that I am in no way saying that you are not, I have no right to pass such judgment, but if you are a Christian, then you will have no difficulty in answering your own questions as bellow. "The crux of my question is not “am I living and believing what Jesus was actually teaching”, but how does one know for certain that they are saved?" If as you say you are a Christian, then you must be saved, if so, then please tell me how you know for certain that you are saved? "I am discussing genuine faith itself. How does one know that the faith he professes to have in Christ is genuine so as to have obtained salvation?" Yes great, how do you know that your faith is genuine? "Therefore, the question still remains unanswered: How do I know for sure I am saved? Or, another way to put it, how can I be assured now that when I die God will take me?" Yes good question, how do you in fact know for sure that you are saved? ebrain. |
