Even we who KNOW we have eternal security based upon the promises of Jesus Christ (John 6:47, etc.) still need prayers lifted to God on our behalf. We may be saved, forgiven


you can't KNOW.
you cannot.
if you KNOW, then you are faithless.
you cna hope.. you cna guess..
but to KNOW is to deny faith.
that's what faith is - to believe strongly in something, with no concrete proof.
i have faith in my wife, in that she would never cheat on me. i'm sure sandra bullock had the same faith in her husband, until she was proven wrong.
i don't KNOW that she never will.. i can't. i just have faith in her.
that's why it's called ' being unfaithful'.
i have faith in god and his son, and i have faith in that i've been saved, but i don't KNOW.
i won't KNOW until it's over and done with.

for you to say that you KNOW is utter aggrogance and is possible the one thing that will cause you to burn.. because it shows a lack of faith.

i had a discussion once (he started it) about a time machine. he asked me ' if you had a time machine and could go anywhere in time you wanted to where would you go first.' i told him i didn't know.. i hadn't thought about it. he said' i'd go back 2000 or so years ago, so i could find out about the life of christ, and so i could see him die on the cross and rise again'.
i told him under no circumstances would i ever do that. because to witness it would be proof, to have proof would destroy faith, and god is all about faith.
that's why we say 'i believe'. and refer to each other as believers. he never understood my point. i wonder if you will.
i KNOW the postman will drive down my street between 1:30 and 3:00 tomorrow.
i KNOW in a minute i'll hit ' post now' and eventually you'll read this and argue.
however, i have faith in jesus christ and god his father, that they have a plan and a purpose for me, and it'll all be ok in the end no matter how it's going down here.
i believe i've been saved by the grace of christ.
but i don't KNOW.

and now it's your turn to rattle off how you KNOW you're saved
even tho the rest of us who merely BELIEVE are pretty sure that your not.
