The only way to know that you are one of the elect is to act like it.

If it's an act you aren't saved regardless of how "spiritual" you present yourself. Rev. talks about this . Jesus doesn't know them.

"Act" has more than one meaning. Why assume I mean to feign or to pretend? Think of 1 John and "walk in the light." It doesn't say "pretend to walk in the light."

You know what I meant. We should never assume someones salvation or lack of. Some people may act "christian " and not be saved. Some people may need to have a heart to heart with God about their behavior but still be saved. Yes we should walk with God and our actions should show that we do but that is what I meant on an earlier post that is the behavior a sin of God or something man came up with? Ex; I went to the movies a couple of weeks ago (gasp) The preacher considers this sin. I see nothing that I did that went against scripture.
