If you have faith that Christ, Son of God and equal member of the holy Trinity, died for your sins; if you repent of your sins and try to live a life that brings glory to God's name; and if you believe that you are saved by faith through God's grace alone -- SURPRISE! You're probably one of the elect.

PROBABLY?????

What do yall have to do to be sure? Amazing! I would not have included the works with salvation and added accept but other than that no argument. If you have accepted Christ as your savior then you KNOW you are one of the "Elect". There is no probably to it.

And we're the ones who are unsure of our salvation. Odd, isn't it.

1 John 5:12ff He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

What if you "accepted " Him because your wife or child wanted you to? Is saying the words enough? There are many people that believe they are saved, that have never met the biblical command to repent and believe , they have simply said a prayer.

BTW do you have a scripture that says we are to "accept Christ " to be saved?

I would have left out the "probably" and stopped at belief in Christ.
