    You're saved if you can walk on water and tell a mountain to jump into the sea and it will do as you command it. Jesus might have been able to walk on water but he never did move the mountain so he got crucified.

    Considering that I haven't been to church in over a decade except for one Christmas service with the family, and that even when I did go to churh I spent the entire time drawing pictures on those communion cards or thinking about banging the hot chick two rows up from me. I am going to go out on a limb and say that I am probably not invited.

    As the Bible is false, the first step is to search for the real Lord and not Jesus.

    How about you (or any theist) give us your personal perspective. A hit and run theist asked the question, but didn't even attempt to answer it - despite couching it in terms suggesting he had an answer.

    No you don't. all applicants are considered. Just by 'wondering' if you are going to be saved, is an automatic application. Doesn't matter if you believe that the Universe was created by a huge Earthworm.

    I believe Q created the universe, just to see how long it would take his various critters to find each other in it. He's very curious, and a little bit of a nancy.

    REPENT, and BELIEVE the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Repentance and belief go together.

    How can a person repent if there's never been a pent in the first place?

    Hay, I pented my house about 8 years ago. Next summer I plan on re-penting it. Some of the pent is starting to wear.

    As to Jesus and God being One and the same person in the Holy Trinity there is no question after Jesus said these words.

    I imagine they do. I imagine pretty much anything the peasantry are instructed to do in the name of an invisible sky man hinges on the belief that such a thing exists.

    And there's your problem .... once the chain of inherited (indoctrinated) belief is broken, hardly anyone is going to believe such a thing. Do YOU believe in other invisible beings? Or only the one you grew up with?

    God has a lot of evil angels so maybe Jesus is evil as well.

    You won't know if you've been saved until the day of reckoning occurs.

    Don't worry about opinions. Worry about the truth. One is saved by grace through faith, surrendering to God, believing in Jesus Christ and repentance. Believe and repent. If you truly desire to know if you are saved, then watch the videos, but more importantly examine yourself. Read the book of 1 John and examine yourself. If you want to know about a subject, what better way than to research? So, if you want to know how to know you are saved, read the Bible. Read the book of 1 John.
