Act 23:1 And looking intently at the council, Paul said, "Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day."
2Th 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.
Jud 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy
Why even reach out to lost souls if we don't know they will be saved? Are we just hoping we will be saved or do we have a great Hope we ARE saved. Salvation is not a lottery

I remain confident as long as I remain in Him.
"If our hearts condemn us not, we have confidence..."
I don't believe in the eternal security doctrine. I have no confidence in anyone's salvation nor that of my own if I do not keep his commandments and daily walk in the light.
I know of no scripture that gurantees me or anyone salvation without walking in the light and keeping His commandments.
Furthermore, Jesus said that "He that ENDURETH to the END, the same shall be (future tense) saved. The fear of God is an important element in being saved in the end, which notion is easily preempted by the doctrine of perverted grace.
