I posted that I was sure I was saved this past Monday. I have now come to severely doubt that I am saved. Is it OCD, or am I really not saved, not submitting to Jesus?
It may be that even at my most sincere repentance/giving of my life to Christ, that I am not really sincere in the deepest part of my heart. Maybe I am just continuing to cling to self in my real heart, while going, superficially, through the motions of turning to Christ. The Bible says, "This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me."
One can be saved in a moment. But not only can an OCD person doubt their salvation, one can think they are saved and not be.
