I have asked this question to other Christians and some were unable to give me a clear concise biblical answer. Do you know? Your eternity depends on it. What say you?

Many believe they are saved when they are not. Try reading 1John 5-7 and examine yourself and see if it changes your answer.

I know I am saved because GOD's word says so:"...That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved..."
I further, know so because i feel an urge against sin(ning) that can only be The HOLY SPIRIT.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The only eternal sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. You can doubt the Father and the Son, but you can never doubt the Holy Spirit. Separate the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son, and you'll know where God is. Find out if you really are against God, or if it's God that has driven you away from blasphemy. Discover it. It will unlock the truth in the Bible. It will unlock the truth in you.
You don't doubt God when you know God.
The people who will thumbs down this are unsure of God, and don't truly realize how God saves.
EDIT
CJ- you're a little lost. You could really benefit from knowing God. Then you wouldn't be trying to blaspheme the Holy Spirit among men like you are. Why don't you stop building churches and start giving the proper hope for true salvation. It's God that has given you life, just like it's God that has given life to every living thing. It's God that saves, and knowing God that allows you understand it. Christianity is but one path to knowing God. You should not be using the name of the Father and the Son to deny salvation to other believers. Which sin is that?

Eternity certainly doesn't depend on MY answer, but here it is nonetheless:
I don 't worry about "saved." That's something the fundamentalists made up to keep those poor brainless people inside their churches and putting money into the collection plate.
I ask God's Holy Spirit to guide me every day. I ask Jesus himself to guide me every day. I do my best to follow what I think God is telling me through the Church, and I don't worry about "saved" or "not saved."
Who is and isn't getting into heaven is God's business, nobody else's. And that includes speculations about whether I myself am going there or not.
I walk with Jesus. That's all I know and all I need to know.
That's not a concise biblical answer. It's not even a biblical answer. It's an empirical answer.

My dear friend,
It is because of God's amazing grace, not of my good works or being a good person. No God send his only son Jesus Chris to die for my sin on the cross. If I confess this with all my heart and have faith in my father, yes I am saved.
If you do not believe this read the bible if you still don't believe come with me to work in the bush in Africa. But don't take my word for it, try it out your self and you will see. God bless you

I know that I am truly saved because I believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, that He was born of a virgin, that He was crucified, that He died was buried and 3 days later arose from the dead the victor over death, hell and the grave. I believe that only through the blood of Christ is salvation possible. I have asked Jesus to forgive my sin , to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I have been baptized and I publicly profess Christ as my Savior.

You know if you are saved by what you belive. The bible says repent and you will be saved, repenting is telling God with all your heart that you believe He died on the cross to take away our sins and rose the third day. If you believe that the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one.

If you want to be saved then buy a security camera in your home and dogs who will protect you.
Just because you read some stupid words in a big old book, it doesn't mean at all that you are "saved".

Are you certain that your denomination is preaching to you the fullness of the Word of God on the matter? If you really want to be sure of your salvation you need to be able to reopen the question.
