If you trust in Christ, you cannot, and will not, be put to shame. The difference between "believing in the head" and "believing in the heart" is non-sense. Believing in the head is an acknowledgment of facts, believing in the heart is trusting Christ for everything. The terminology is confusing. However, if you trust Christ, you have more than a believing in the head, and can be assured your saved.
Biblically speaking, Peter denied Christ 3 times, was deceived by the Judaizers and went to try to be justified by the law, Peter had wavering faith throughout Christ's ministry, yet Peter was not lost. However, if we judge by what Peter did, Christ said that if you deny Him, He will deny you, so is Peter in Hell? No.
This trusting your fruits non-sense is a load. I find people saying, "You have to have repentance." Granted, you will have repentance if you are saved. However, this is not a perfect repentance. People have repentance in degrees, yet the littlest amount of repentance is enough. In fact, no repentance is enough. Salvation is by Christ. However, if you trust Him, you will have a repentance. But you cannot trust your fruits. As I've mentioned before. Some Islamic people have fruits of the Spirit, but they aren't saved. Peter didn't have the fruits initially.
Heck. Read 1 Corinthians. A guy slept with his mother-in-law, they were getting drunk on wine, there were divisions, but guess what? Paul addressed them as believers.
The thing that irks me about people saying you must repent, is the fact that these people still haven't sold all they have and given to the poor, sure they go to church, but that isn't what Christ demanded. Sure, they give some to the poor, even a lot to the poor, probably ten-fold or more than I do. But that's not what Christ demanded. He demands everything. So if Christ requires perfect repentance, no one, not even the people preaching repentance, are saved.
These people are trusting their fruits. Not the root. I am not saying there should be some growth. But growth is relative. The Corinthian church was rejoicing over their freedom in Christ, that is, they were rejoicing over the man who slept with His mother-in-law. Don't go sleep with your mother/father-in-law, but these things were all given as examples.
Christ said that many will say to Him, "Lord, Lord, did we not...." read this. All those people were trusting their fruits. Yet not one of them was doing the work of God. What is the work of God? To believe in the one whom He has sent. If you want to go and trust your fruits, by all means, enjoy a life on insecurity. But I know whom I have trusted, and I am certain He is able to keep what I have entrusted to Him. Why? Because His promise rests not on my fruits, but on the Root. On His Grace, on His promises, and on the finished work on Calvary. If I go to Hell, fine, but I went to Hell trusting Christ which Paul told me I cannot be put to shame if I trust Him.
I don't know about you, but when I look to myself, I have no hope. All I see is sin. All I see is tainted motives. All I see is a wretch. I don't see myself any "holier" than the day I was saved. I simply rest in my sanctified place in Jesus Christ, because He is my sanctification. I am not growing more holy. I am holy in Christ. In fact, let me ask you, can you grow more holy? Or let me rephrase that, if I act like monkey, if I eat bananas, fling poo, scratch my arm pits, and make monkey noises, am I a monkey? No. You can't become more monkey. You either are a monkey or you aren't. You are either holy, or you're not. And I am holy. Why? Because I am in Christ.
Listen, it doesn't take much to hear these people speak of their "head" and "heart" knowledge, and their "genuine repentance" to logically conclude they are simply terribly confused about the Gospel. Just listen, you'll find they contradict at many points. And ironically, the things they will tell you, don't apply to them. They might think they do, but they judge with high-headed minds, thinking more highly of themselves then they ought (See Romans 12). They judge themselves wrongly. If any of us judged ourselves by our "fruits," honestly, we'd all be damned because we know our fruits aren't "Christian" enough. This is my experience anyways. And if anyone tells me I'm damned, even if the whole world testifies that I am damned, my hope still remains Christ. Not my fruits, not my repentance, and not my faith. Only Christ. And even if all testified against me saying that I had not lived "Christian enough," I'd agree. I haven't. But it's not about me living Christian enough, nor is it about me having "heart knowledge." It's about Christ and whether His blood has purchased me. And I believe it has. And though all testify against me, I know that I cannot be put to shame for trusting Him. If God sends me to Hell for trusting His Son, God is unjust and His Son was put to death in vain.
Look. Stop reading all this bull. Stop looking at all these videos. These books. They won't do nothing but provide you confusion. Whenever you look to yourself, you'll have no assurance. And that's all you're doing. So stop. Look to Christ. Settle to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified. Settle to know that it is by the Gospel which you are saved. And what is the Gospel? "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
Acts 15 (KJV)
1And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
24Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
30So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.
37And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
I am justified by the grace of God. You are too.. if you trust His testimony concerning His Son, and rely on Him alone to save you from the wrath to come.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
