Timmy, when you count the votes remember I voted 100% sure, but your wording is misleading for me. I'm 100% sure I'm saved unless I backslide which would mean I would be 100% lost and hear the word depart form me.

The long-winded explanation pointed out that this applies to right now, whether or not you might lose your salvation later.

80 views, 6 votes. Ya know, one might assume that a non-vote is the equivalent of "No idea! Never really thought of it that way, and I can't start now!".
Ya, something like that. Noted that your 98, 99, and 100% are each a different category! Some of us cannot divvy up our certainty-sensitivity to that degree.
And some of us don't trust the results of any online poll, anywhere. That I am 100% certain about. Admittedly, it's still entertaining to witness the more eager, certain people.
"Faith that is seen is not faith." I hope I only need to be certain enough to act upon what I'm supposed to do, such as to pull out a sword and slaughter Isaac upon God's command, even if I'm shaking a bit up to the last minute. Any more certainty than that has to come from God, not me.

Sure, but most folks should have at least some idea of their level of certainty. But yeah, might be hard to put a number on it.
