This leads me to the questions. How does a person get saved, from your view?
I thought that was already dealt with. One is saved by grace, through faith, and that not of ourselves --it is the gift of God. God chooses whom to save (the Elect) and Christ died for them, and the Holy Spirit takes up residence in them according to his timing, giving them new life. At that point they have received him, and will to do good, good according to God's definition, though they may not even have realized what has happened. They necessarily will, then, repent of their sin (and continue to repent according to His urging) understanding is increased and knowledge of God, and so on.
Also how does one know one is saved?
They may or may not know they are saved. Those who think they know, and in my experience, particularly those who think it is by their decision they are saved, since they have learned not to trust themselves and their silly weak decisions, will have doubts because of bad theology and failure to obey. Those who know it is God who saves, may still have doubts because of failure to obey. (In both kinds of believers, failure to obey, particularly repeated willful failure in any one area, makes one resemble the unsaved, and the soul grieves, the heart aches for cleanliness, and so the attitude of repentance). And in both, (for the one by experience in contrast to their theology, in the other by experience and theology), they learn joy in the plain fact that
God is the one doing all things, and that, for his own sake, and that God is VERY pleased with the work of his hands, and that he will indeed accomplish whatever he set out to do.
The believer may even find at some point that the fact that God will accomplish what he does, and that, for his own sake, is more important and more satisfying than the believer's very existence and eternal destiny.
I say much of this from personal experience, and from long study of Scriptures, the study both causing and affirming the experience.
Also, for both kinds of believers, there is the witness of the Spirit within them, which is not unrelated to the other matters concerning the feeling of security, and this shows in many ways, such as the feeling of brotherhood with other believers and love for God. These are necessarily subjective, yet the to the Spirit of God, they are known facts, and the witness of the Spirit convinces as a sure thing. Yet, for the "believer" who only thinks himself elect, the subjective can be self-deceit. But God is the judge, not the person. For myself, I have learned to have the most trust in those who KNOW they need Christ.
Why do you think we have different ideas how one is saved?
You may not like this answer, but God does what he does, and nobody can criticize him. Some of us, he causes to believe the truth, others he allows to be deceived. And always, not only is there a mix of truth and error, but there is the prevalence of the simple fact that we are human, limited in mind, resolve and focus. The fact a person believes the truth does not mean that person understands the whole matter --far from it! Likewise, even though a believer may have a false understanding of a matter does not mean that the Spirit has abandoned him, but rather the Spirit, at his own pleasure, will lead those whom God has chosen into all [categories?] of truth. But ALL people's comprehension begins with the worldview of the fallen, the unbeliever, at enmity with Christ, and influenced by their upbringing, circumstances and experiences. To all of us, this will mean a more insistent trust in one or another assumption.
But the mind of the believer is transformed, not only radically, by regeneration, but over time and application and of Scripture, Practice (application), Discipline and Experience, all of which are effected (caused) and effective by the work of God
