Ok guys since my salvation is not as a concrete assurance as yours (so you say) Let me ask you a question:

Do you consider yourself to be a good person?

if so let's take a little test to see if that is true:

1)Have you ever told a lie?
2)Have you ever stolen something regardless of its value?
3)Have you ever commited adultry? (and by this I mean have you ever lusted)
4)Have you ever taken the Lord's name in vain?
5)Have you ever hated someone?

If you have answered yes to even one of these then you my friends cannot and will not go to Heaven, or shall I say you are not in the "elect" unless YOU REPENT and put YOUR FAITH in Jesus. If this is so then how can you go to Heaven then?

If you are apart of the "elect" and you have broken God's laws then you have to go to Hell. God has no other choice then to send you to Hell.

I know that you have answered yes to probably most of these and if you haven't then you have problems because only one man can answer no to all of these and that is Jesus. So how do you explain this?

You are very Roman Catholic in your understanding of repentance/faith/pardon. According to your logic, the best time for you to die, as well with any RC is imediately after receiving absolution from the priest and saying your penance.

If you could be struck down in the moment you recite your last "Glory Be" This is the only way you can be assured of being with Christ.

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
