Why we are not "Saved" (crack this box open...)

Off a few other threads, so no one get the wrong idea here....

We are God Fearing:

We know God, based on our factual relationship with Him.

When I say factual, I mean what we have witnessed & been shown thru Him in our life so far.

We are given biblical signs and blessings from God often enough to truly know His presence, (these signs are not taken lightly, I'm very analytical and when a sign carries such odds as 1:700,000+, to us it's a sign) when gathered around the right group of people we can feel His presence.

We are for better words ignorant in understanding scripture. (but currently trying)

We are not "saved" but are not "damned". I know the definition of a Christian and we are not, but we are not claiming such as so many we witness..... (which is worse?)

We do not openly feel that literally anyone can repent and be saved. There are evils here, there are those that will indeed suffer eternal damnation regardless of future actions.

We don't feel one can simply have an honest thought & become Christian. We feel this requires good works, discipline, respect, and a at least a life-cumulative positive balance of good-vs-evil.....

Only when we have come to a life worthy of Him can we truly accept such a commitment and receive assured salvation.

* We do not preach this to be universal truth, this is simply our honest understanding that He has shown us*
^^^ However, has He shown us everything or just a small piece of the pie? Are we seeing things clearly or half blind?

DO we wish to be saved? INDEED, and we are EVERYDAY working towards this. Since 2006 we've been working on this, and feel we are 90% there (aside from scriptural intelligence.)
^^^ Note, I do not mean 90% complete holiness, for there is a lot of further enlightenment ahead I see....
