The long-winded explanation pointed out that this applies to right now, whether or not you might lose your salvation later.

I'm 100% saved as long as Christ is 100% a savior!!!

Re: Are you sure you're saved?

I was once saved.

The problem is, no one knocked me in the head at that time which would have guaranteed my heavenly trip.

But, since no one knocked me in the head within five or ten minutes after I was saved, that means I am going to have to walk in the light until He comes. Walking in the light means that His blood will continue to do what it started doing when no one knocked me in the head...when I was first saved.

If I fail to walk in the light, darkness will overtake me and His blood will no longer cleanse me from sin and I will no longer have fellowship with him.

"...and the blood of Jesus His son, cleanseth us from all sin."

Anyone want to adopt the "knock 'em in the head after they get saved," doctrine?

Had a preacher friend that always carried a hammer with him(so he told everybody). He said the only way to get there was just as you said. Send them on their way before something happened to them. We always joked where is the hammer.

The question is not whether He is able or not...that's a given.

The question is whether or not you and I will continue to walk and seek after Him, keeping His commandments and walking in His light as He leads. Are you and I able?

No, Timmy's question was Am I 100% sure I'm saved... I know HE is able to keep that which I've committed.

Re: Are you sure you're saved?

I know I'm saved
and I'm so glad about it.

I found the joy my Spirit craved

It is so real
that I can never doubt it

Oh thank the Lord I know I'm saved
