How do you know you are saved?

Question

I didn’t think that was up to you after reading your rule book, but either way, that sounds like a pretty pompous boast. Did someone send you a voucher, or can you just ‘feel’ this too?

Answer 1

Given all the arguments yesterday, I can now conclusively state that you "know" you are saved if you stay a Christian until your death. Otherwise, if you convert to another religion (or non-religion), you were never really saved in the first place.

What? You say that after-the-fact determinations are a logical fallacy and are worthless as definitions? Well, if you were "saved", you'd understand, so you obviously aren't. Hah!

Answer 2

I think its kind of sad how people make some type of a crack at this. Its not something that we "feel"...it is something that is validated by God. You people still think that this world and the five senses is all there is huh? How sad for you that you have no sense of the spiritual realm or have salvation for your soul. Salvation is assurance that you have a savior from all the crap that you have done, from all the crap that people have dealt you, from the decay of life, from the decay of soul...you have a new begining and you find it the moment you first believe in this man named Jesus...you realize that you don't have to be a cynical jerk, and can actually look forward to every single mila second of everyday...you can find forgivess in the people who have wronged you and you can easily forgive because you have finally realized every wrong and all the rebellion that you have been forgiven for...it's much more than just "feeling"...it's a spiritual birth...and because you can't SEE it or FEEL it with your physical decaying body you think that it doesn't exist???....I know how hard it must be to believe in an ETERNAL something, it's hard for some people to wrap around an infinite possibility with such a finite brain and with living and walking into another day that leaves them closer to a physical death...but it's true...and I hope and pray that you find it...it's the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to you and it will be your eternal destiny....

Answer 3

You don't, no one can, not even the "saved" Christians - sorry guys. The only was one can 100% for sure know they will inherit God's Kingdom is to have a personal visit from the Savior - it's called your "calling and election made sure" - which has happened to like 2 or 3 people. (Joseph Smith was one of them.) The only things we can do is obey the commandments and do all that the Lord asks of us - after we have done all we can, Christ will make up the difference. We will not "know" of our salvation until the judgement - because salvation is a future event, not one that can happen in this lifetime.
That is what LDS believe.

Answer 4

I think it is something that can be felt, I know a lot of people who are "sure" they are saved and I wont say they aren't but in my opinion, its probably unsafe to be "sure" because it may cause you to be too secure and thus not take it seriously. I can be sure one minute and in the next not be sure. But this keeps me on my toes, keeps me asking and seeking, keeps me trying to improve myself. I think Paul said it best and everyone should consider it

Phil 2:12Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,

Answer 5

We are saved by grace, not by works, so that no one can boast.
We are saved by grace alone. Recall that in Acts 16:31 the jailer asked Paul and Silas how to be saved. They responded, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." The jailer believed and immediately became saved.
Close to 200 times in the New Testament salvation is said to be by faith alone - with no works in sight. Consider the following:
John 3:15 tells us that "everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."
John 5:24 says, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
In John 11:25 Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies."
John 23:46 says, "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."
John 20:31 says, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
If salvation were not by faith alone, then Jesus' message in the Gospel of John - manifest in the above quotations - would be deceptive, stating that there is one condition for salvation when there are allegedly two - faith and works.
I must emphasize that we are saved by faith for for works. Works are not the condition of our salvation, but a consequence of it We are saved not by works, but by the kind of faith that produces works.

Eph 2:8-10 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this: It is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Answer 6

No one will know until the end or until the great tribulation begins.

MATTHEW 10:22--"And you will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved."
MATTHEW 24:13--" But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved."
ZEPHANIAH 2:3--"Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger."

No one is automatically saved. If we endure persecution and hatred for being proclaimers of God's Kingdom until the end, and remain meek and strive to be righteous in all things, then as the prophet Zephaniah says--we may be saved.

No one can truly know they are saved.

They can only do what they feel is good and right and necessary, and hope that God has mercy on them.
