Feel like they're hellbound? What are they doing that makes them feel so unsure of their salvation? Maybe a healthy feeling of conviction of part of that "fear and trembling" and making our "calling and election sure."

AMEN!
However... lol
If a teenager feels like they are hellbound for wanting to wear a pair of shorts, short sleeves, or a little facial hair...
