I don't really understand the conundrum. If a person has to say "I'm not sure", or "I don't know", then that person has not received Christ's finished work on his behalf. There is no middle ground. And if a person thinks he can lose it, then he never really had it to begin with. "For ye are dead, and YOUR LIFE is hid with Christ in God."(Col. 3:3). And:

" Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. NAY, in ALL THESE THINGS we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US. For I am persuaded, that NEITHER DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS, NOR PRINCIPILATIES, NOR POWERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR THINGS TO COME, NOR HEIGHT< NOR DEPTH, NOR ANY OTHER CREATURE SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD." (Rom. 8:35-39).

This says that neither my life NOR my death can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ. And it also says that neither things present NOR things to come can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ. You can't get any more secure than THAT.

So you never sin? Or you sin knowing that your sins are already forgiven?

This says that neither my life NOR my death can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ. And it also says that neither things present NOR things to come can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ. You can't get any more secure than THAT.

Exactly...But one must be grounded in the scriptures to really understand this, I would think...

The Pentecostals have it covered tho by getting saved again every time they commit a sin they feel is worthy of losing salvation...It's called getting born-again again...

The real difference with that very large religion and us is that they teach that a person is not really saved until they pass thru the White Throne Judgment...Therefore, no on can be saved by trusting Jesus Christ...And of course, it's impossible to know if you are saved until it happens...And not one of them will really search the scriptures to see if those things are so...
