But none so until the moment of their death.

Half right. We don't know for certain anyone else's salvation. Therefore we continue to preach the Gospel to all men everywhere forever, confident that those whom God has given new ears will hear the truth and believe to the saving of their souls.

We do have an indication -- by either the good fruits or evil fruits a man produces. Christ tells us that good trees produces good fruit and corrupt trees produce evil fruit.

But life is long and who is to say God will not turn the eyes of today's unbeliever to the glory of Christ tomorrow?

We DO have a reasonable certainty of our salvation because the Bible tells us that God's free gift of grace through faith in Christ is evidence of our adoption by God.

Don't let any man or church deprive you of the blessed assurance Christ has given His flock -- that He will never leave them and never let them suffer beyond what they can handle and that He will be with them until the end of time.

", Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." -- Acts 16:31

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." -- 1 Corinthians 1:18
