Timmy, when you count the votes remember I voted 100% sure, but your wording is misleading for me. I'm 100% sure I'm saved unless I backslide which would mean I would be 100% lost and hear the word depart form me.
The long-winded explanation pointed out that this applies to right now, whether or not you might lose your salvation later.

Hebrews 13:23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty
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.

...I am not ashamed...I know whom I have believed and am pursuaded that He is able...
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.
