I've heard it mentioned on these threads by numerous folks...questioning wether one can know they are saved.

Hi Mitch. Isn't this what 1 John is all about?

I guess I didn't phrase this question well a while ago. OK--let me try again. At the top and bottom of this window it says:

first previous 1-50 ... 1,351-1,400, 1,401-1,450, 1,451-1,500, 1,501-1,520 last

Now, if I wanted to go to the page that has reply #1460, I'd just click where it says 1,451-1,500. But what if I wanted to go to the page that has reply #777? How would I get directly to that page?

Well yes I believe that it what it is about but it's my understanding that many here do not believe you can know with absolute certainty that you are saved.

I believe that when Jesus is accepted then that person is saved and actually needs to know that in order for certain other things to happen.

From my reading of scripture it appears to me that not knowing is a great hinderance to faith and understanding.

It is far more than something nice to know,it is actually vital.

Would love to take this further,it would be a great encouragement to those who are unsure.However,much like yourself,I am often not near a computer so I tend to post like you do,here and there when I can.Still...knowing you are saved is surely a worthwhile topic and who knows,maybe I could bring something to the discussion that hasn't been considered before.Would love to try anyways.

grace and peace to you all

God bless
