Are you sure you're saved?

Saying I KNOW I am saved, right here and right now does NOT advocate OSAS.

And please show how any scripture was misused

Show me where I said that anyone did.

Nor did I say that you advocate OSAS.

Remember this post?

I don't mean to be rude, but one might as well be a Muslim with the kind of thinking that they aren't sure or don't know. Do you have faith? In Jesus? I am confidant in my Lord to keep me to the very end, saved and sanctified.

Act 23:1 And looking intently at the council, Paul said, "Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day."

2Th 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

Jud 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy

Why even reach out to lost souls if we don't know they will be saved? Are we just hoping we will be saved or do we have a great Hope we ARE saved. Salvation is not a lottery

Great scriptures but they do not add balance, in my opinion, left alone as they are without other scriptures which need to be considered.

I am perplexed why you would use the "ping pong" analogy since I don't know anyone that believes that either. Why can't we remain balnced?

Just for a little balance to the scriptures that rightfully teach us that God is ABLE to keep that which we have committed unto him against that day...and all other "God is ABLE" scriptures including the one that you used above in the 24th verse.

God is able...his ability is left UP TO ME. Look:

Hbr 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Hbr 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Hbr 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Of course, I could quote an encyclopedia full of scritprues just like this one or very similar teaching us that to keeping the commandments of God is imperative to salvation. Fearing God and keeping His commandments is the whole duty of man and is not an option. All of that while the scriptures that you quoted above all other "he is able" scriptues are also true.

No ping pong salvation though. I also know that I am saved. There is only one time since that I received the Holy Ghost that I can say that I was not saved at that time. I was not keeping His commandments and walking according to my own will according to the course of this world.
