Do you worry if you are saved or not?

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

Feel free to show this. You make the assertion but have yet to demonstrate that it is true.



No. Not at all. Just the ones who think they know better than those who have lived far longer than they have.

My response; I feel you're confusing spiritual age with physical. Some don't start walking with Christ until like 60 so if I started at 10 for example I would be older and stronger spiritual even if they are older and maybe know the Bible better.

No, I understood you. You, though, didn't understand me. There is no walking in the truth without walking also in the Spirit; you cannot be walking in God's truth without also walking in His Spirit. (Jn. 16:13) As I said, when you understand God's word better, you will realize this.

My response: then I guess I'm wrong you're not walking in anything right now. Like I said though can learn a lot from those that study like yourself saved or not

You make a great many assumptions. Too many, really. But I suppose this goes with being a nineteen-year-old who thinks he knows more about the Christian faith than a man who has studied it and lived it for twice as long as the nineteen-year-old has been alive.
My response:
In fact, I don't make the assumption you do and think because you don't yet understand God's truth well that you aren't indwelt by His Spirit. That's the mistaken assumption of a nineteen-year-old novice to the faith, not a believer who is my age and has walked with God as long as I have.
My response: you're confused lol I never said I don't understand the truth well I just said if you've been reading a bible for 40 years logically your ahead but that doesn't mean I don't know it. Also I'm saved by the Holy Ghost it has nothing to do with knowledge and that's one reason maybe you haven't received the Holy Ghost yet.
Selah.

I know better now, and so will you as you grow older. There's no need in trying to convince you at this point in your life.

About what

About anything.

But this isn't the case here. You are like a brand-new infant spiritually. As much as you'd like to think you've overtaken those who've been walking with God for decades, at least in this instance it just ain't so.

"then I guess I'm wrong you're not walking in anything right now."

Oh, you're definitely wrong - about a number of things. And since you have almost no idea of my walk with God, your estimation of it is quite irrelevant.

"you're confused lol I never said I don't understand the truth well"

It doesn't matter, really. Your lack of understanding is evident in everything you write.

"Also I'm saved by the Holy Ghost it has nothing to do with knowledge and that's one reason maybe you haven't received the Holy Ghost yet."

Without the knowledge imparted to you from the Bible, you would not be able to say, "I'm saved by the Holy Spirit." How would you know you could be saved if not for the knowledge of your salvation revealed to you, and/or those who have taught you, in Scripture? The Bible is one vast storehouse of knowledge from which the Christian faith is revealed and formed. So, yes, knowledge is vital to salvation. You can't be saved if you don't possess the knowledge that you must and can be saved. You can't be saved if you don't know how salvation is accomplished. This is why the apostle Paul wrote:

Romans 1:16
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

The "power of God to salvation" is contained in the knowledge of the Gospel of Christ. Without that knowledge, one cannot be saved.

Romans 10:14-15
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

So, again, you have demonstrated a very poor understanding even of how a person is saved.

Selah.

Do you worry, or are you sure you are saved?

My personal understanding of salvation is kind of evolving right now.... But as I understand it Scripturally and historically, salvation is a process. A conversion point can also be legitimately described as salvation, but one's salvation is also a life-long process of discipleship, growth, holiness, love, sacrifice, and being conformed to the image of Christ. Thus Christ has saved us, and continues to save us through His grace at work via our faith and our works as disciples, and He will finally save us at the day of Resurrection. But our salvation is a process of co-operation between the grace of the Holy Trinity and our human will.

Do you worry, or are you sure you are saved?

I believe that I am saved. Because I surrendered. My salvation began years ago. I know I'm saved.

My confidence is in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. If that wasn't good enough then I'm not saved. There are many times I act out of line and fall short of being godly, but if those things will prevent me from being with God forever, then Jesus' blood sacrifice didn't cut it (which of course I don't believe to be true. His perfect work can cover all the sins of the world hundreds times over).

Well, exactly; and Hebrews chapters 9 and 10 speak repeatedly about the Saviour's one, finished and sufficient sacrifice.
