No, I had at one time clearly trusted the Lord but through some faulty thinking, and looking too much inward at my own failings rather than toward my Savior, I became confused and fearful. Thankfully, some dear brothers and sisters in Christ helped me to get back onto solid ground in my thinking. This person I referenced had never come to that point as far as I know of having assurance in their relationship with Christ until that point. So, as far as I know, this was the point of salvation for him. Thanks for asking!

Yo...Dave, I am confused about something you wrote. You said that you used to have doubts and fears about this issue. Then, you discussed someone else that had doubts and fears regarding this same issue.<br /><br />When the person you were counseling got past his doubts and fears,you characterized it as repentance unto salvation.<br /><br />When you overcame your doubts and fears on this issue, was it repentance unto salvation for you also?<br /><br />Thanks. johnjohnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498887749183363008.post-80600946013499898482012-01-02T21:07:08.551-05:002012-01-02T21:07:08.551-05:00So good bro.

I've made that same mistake as this guy, I heard the illustration that faith is like a healthy eyesight - it is forgotten in the ease of it's use and looks at the object outward rather than inward.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639874602120907683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498887749183363008.post-8506747413394971902011-12-31T13:34:46.495-05:002011-12-31T13:34:46.495-05:00Bros.

I like:
"I'm...Excellent Brother David! <br /><br />I like:<br /><br />"I'm sorry, but you didn't do it just right when you received My gift of salvation, so you can't have it."<br /><br />That's it!! This is the little unfinished business that people are trying to complete before they will accept they are saved. They are "trying" to do it right, rather than behold Him who had done it right. <br /><br />Salvation is about what God has DONE, and not what man will DO. My faith beholds the done, and does not look within and ask, "Did I do enough of it (faith, repentance)?" Anytime I ask, "Did I do enough?" will ALWAYS result in doubt.<br /><br />We can never know if we have done enough, but we can always know that He has done it all in our place. I am never asked to do a certain amount of anything to be saved, as there is no quantity of faith required. It is simply either accepting what is already mine, or saying, "No thank you! I will do it myself." <br /><br />To me, faith is saying "Thank you!" for a gift that requires nothing from me. God is never stingy, but His compassion fails not ever. <br /><br />Happy New Year!<br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
