If it is true that we can't know whether we are saved, then we have to accept it.
 
 
Well.....
 
...if you could read and understand the Scriptures, you might have come across these verses.............
 
 
 

NIV 1 John 2:12-14
 12.  I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.
 13.  I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father.
 14.  I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
 
NIV 1 John 2:20-21
One, and all of you know the truth.
   I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

Surely you can't be unaware of all the verses on the other side of this issue. This is why proof-texting is just Egoism, finding what "I" want to believe, and asserting it.
