10 Point Test to See if You’re TRULY Saved 

Todd Friel is a compelling speaker. I like listening to him with Sith music playing

Hallelujah! Welcome to the family!!

Amen

Its your trust in the blood and the promise of God.

And if an unbeliever is changing the direction of their life, does that show evidence their salvation?

​@@stonewall11b1984 No, because that is akin to putting the cart before the horse. Such a person is not claiming salvation, but is simply changing direction; changing direction does not produce salvation, so such an act on the part of an unbeliever cannot show evidence of something that does not exist. Repenting and placing faith in Jesus and His act of atonement produces justification, and that will evidenced by a change in one's direction in life. However, if a person claims to be a Christian and shows no change in the direction of his/her life, then there is no proof of salvation.

McArthur is the worst example to follow as he a modern flavor catholic and works based salvation

In your life as a professing Christian has there ever been a time the direction of your life looked like you're not following Christ?

Actually, Romans 7 tells us a different story. "... it is no more l that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me..." *1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬* “Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.”

And there is his solution in Romans 8! Keep fighting the good fight, brother.

I was hoping that someone caught the error.

At the very least he proved none of us are perfect, and we can all fall horribly.

yes

I hate how this Calvinistic garbage pretends like Romans 10:9 doesn't exist. (and yes... this whole "how to you know you're saved" nonsense comes from the P in 🌷).

Being baptized is not the same as being saved.

@@Morningstar2216 Correct. Being baptized is part of the process of getting saved.

We're saved by grace, not by works. But the evidence that we're saved is obedience and a changed life.

How much change

Too true! You nailed it! Simply believe.

@@James5877false.

The amount of change expected is something I believe is individual and personal between that person and God. Random example but a former thief who resists a temptation to steal something or perhaps even returns a stolen item has taken a much greater step than your average Joe who could have had the same situation. Both did right in God’s eyes but it meant a lot more to one in terms of spiritual growth compared to the other. I wouldn’t dwell on it too much. God knows we are flesh and we will fall. I believe he is more so looking for that “Are you trying? Are you showing that your relationship with him matters?” When you fall do you wallow in your sin or able you able to stand back up, go to God for forgiveness, believe that you are forgiven as that’s what the Bible says, and just keep moving and serving him.

Nailed it!!!

😂👌

1 John 1:9 says that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Our trust is in Him, not in our own ability. As we fail, we get back up. Pray for help to grow up. Toddlers stumble as they are learning to walk. This is the sanctification process. Run to Jesus when you struggle, He is the hope and the help.

The blood of Jesus is more than enough to save you. Just keep going to him for forgiveness and help whenever you mess up. His grace is sufficient for you.

@@cherryannjoseph3671 Thank you so much 🙏🥰

@@gettingdialectic9519 Many thanks for this, it’s appreciated 🙏❤️

You have trusted Christ for your salvation. 1 Cor. 15:3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures" Did Christ die for your sins or not? Did He pay the penalty for your sins or not? Was He your sacrifice or not? Did you believe the gospel or not? Do you want to know if you're saved? Here's how you can know. 1 John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; THAT YE MAY KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God". The miracle isn't that He will forgive your sins. If you're saved, the miracle is that He already has.

How? What false doctrine? To my understanding he sinned, but that doesnt mean he isnt part of the elect. Is there more that you are talking about?

@@symonelovesJesus I was mocking him. He would question someone salvation and say they aren’t born again for doing what he just did. I was mocking his hypocrisy. I also don’t believe in Calvinism.

There is no time set for His return in the bible. Jesus said only the Father kknow the time of his return the rapture

That would be nice. But it negates a lot of other new testament scriptures. Faith without works is dead. Paul tells us to examine ourselves to see whether or not we are in the faith. Jesus Himself said "not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of Heaven." The parable of the wheat and tares etc... I respectfully disagree with your simple answer and thus your refutation of this video.

@@capt.butters9296 You're not rightly dividing...

Ask the Lord to help you find the right fellowship. You might also consider joining a Bible study or small group at a church that meets biblical qualifications.

I was the same some years ago. I prayed and ask God to give me a godly Christian friend. It’s is a sad commentary on your church when a single lady can’t have a Christian friend in her church. Well, God answer my prayer he gave me two friends.

I was also a very heavy introvert, but being introduced to Jesus Christ put an end to that status. Most of what we are as adults most of the stuff has its beginning in our childhood - disconnected parents; and sin nature too.

I also am an introvert, I don't have a job so I stay home all the time, I'm not very good at having conversations with other ppl other than in a text message, am I wrong for being comfortable this way? I've learned that ppl cannot be trusted so I'd rather just not be around anyone, even my church family, I don't have any friends besides my husband and I'm ok with that, am I wrong for being ok with that?

You should start praying for another job. I've learned that any job that keeps you from the Lord's house is not from God. I will be praying for doors to open. For yuy

I wonder if the thief on the cross knew all the commandments and precepts? Gee, I hope so.

They didn't. But it helps us in our walk and getting closer to God

If you want to know if you're saved there is a very, very simple way to tell. 1 John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God". If you believed on Jesus then the only way you could not be saved is if God hasn't kept His promise.

You should go to church if you're able, but you're not. There are online services for you to watch and I believe you can also ask for a pastoral visit. Perhaps if the people from your church remember you, if you're very, very fortunate they will visit you and you can fellowship with them.

Mankind doesn’t stand a chance with God if Jesus didn’t shed His precious blood on that cross as a propitiation for all our sins! Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Him. Mankind cannot meet God’s standard of no sin ever, period! Jesus is the perfect blood sacrifice, the Lamb of God as John the Baptist calls Him. We must admit we’re sinners, repent of our sins, and call on Jesus as our Savior. We should pray daily, confess our sins to Him daily, and read our Bible daily. This is not a works salvation. We do these things to know God’s Will and stay on the right path. You can’t just read The Old Testament and get salvation. The New Testament is the fulfillment of God’s Promise to redeem mankind from eternal damnation. You can’t bypass The Son in the Holy Trinity and get salvation and without The Son returning to Heaven we wouldn’t get The Holy Spirit.

1 Cor. 15:3,4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures Galations 1:8,9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

I'm not sure where you got 5,000 from, there are 613 commandments in the Old testament, most people only know that ten commandments. And of course Jesus did not abolish the law like many claim, what he did was establish how to fulfill the law, which was love God with all your heart, mind and strength and love others as yourself

@@michaeldorsey4580 ok but what do I do when I failed tht law? Cuz i didn’t did today on the interstate, so now what I broke tht law is tht it is it over for me?

@@mattk7794 I'm not exactly sure what you were talking about, but if you're talking about the law of god, if you have the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit Will convict you, and then you confess your sins to God and he will forgive you as he promised, in first John

@@michaeldorsey4580 but if I broke the law then confess tht I broke it now I’m guilty for sure, so he gave us many many laws then Jesus said ok ok just love god with all your heart and love your neighbor as your self, but…… I broke tht today alone let alone the last 26 years of my life, so…

Its not over as long as you're breathing. God knows we are only human, its in our nature to sin. But only if you get back up everytime and continue to put your faith in jesus you will be saved. For we are not saved by works but faith alone, but faith without works is dead. So when you sin you need to realize your wrong doing, confess it to the lord/repent, and the blood of the lamb will wash away your sins. God knows we will all sin even the holiest of christians, what he is watching for is if you get back up and continue to put your faith in him. @@mattk7794

Submission, If you have repented and followed him the temptation will still linger (cause temptation is gods way of testing our faith), but if you truly submit to your flesh, surround yourself with his word, and build a relationships with jesus it's ganna be a whole lot easier to fight of temptation because you're ganna have real true love for jesus, just as a kid feels bad when we hurt our parents, apart of us will feel terrible when we go against god. It all stems off relationship and true love. If you do have a true relationship with the father it could also be that you have unforgiveness towards someone. He will send demons to torment us if we continue to not forgive people despite what they have done. For how can you expect forgiveness if you haven't forgave someone thats made in gods image? I recently fully submitted to jesus 2 weeks ago after 2 years of being a full blown stoner and porn addict and went cold turkey because of relationship, yes i still get tempted when I even smell weed but it really does hurt me when i knowingly sin against my father because of the relationship we built. It took me 6 months to fully submit and want a relationship so dont beat yourself up it takes time but he is surely working on you! Just remember we are in a spiritual warzone 24/7 so put on the full armor of god and know the temptation is ALWAYS a test, If you fully gave your life to him you cannot go to the next level without passing the test first, just like school. God bless you have a wonderful day! everytime you get tempted, talk to god, pray, or get in his word via sermons, bible, ect. Its all about relationship!

@@abdiel2231 thank you. You dont know how much i needed to hear this.

What a lot of people don't understand, is that the sinner is a rough ugly block of stone, and God is the artist with the chisel. Each sin is a piece of stone that needs chiselled off of the block. God is the artist, He's the one cleaning you up. He knows what sins you are ready to tackle and when you're ready to tackle of them. Some of them, He will toss out in the first week of your new Christian life. Other sins are so very deeply rooted, He knows that He will have to build your faith and spiritual strength up until you're strong enough to break those sins. Some sins, you might never break until the day you die. Know that Christ paid for *ALL* sin, Past, Present, _and Future_ and that no sin is too bad that He won't rid you of once it's time to leave this place. As long as you continue to maintain an attitude of repentance, and don't fall complacent or think your sin is OK, you should be fine. Also, I think God leaves some sin in our lives, so that we do not fall victim to Pride. Someone who has very little sin in their life is in danger of allowing Pride to take root... "Look at how holy I am! I have almost zero sin in my life!" ... the next day, he goes and commits adultery or something like that. No thanks, I don't want that being me. My sin keeps me humble. I know what my sins are, I hate my sins, but they are a part of me, until God chisels them off of me or until I die, whichever happens sooner. I'd rather have those sins, than arrogant hubris, the last thing I want, is to be lulled into this false belief that I am holy because most of my sins are gone. No, the only reason I have any holiness or any righteousness whatsoever, is because Christ gave me that. I want zero reason to think of myself highly whatsoever.

The struggle is your assurance brother that you recognise your sin and fight against it although you are not always winning, same with all of us.

When I got saved, I was talking to a sister in Christ who told me that when she came to God, she was always going to clubs. She really enjoyed going there. She said that she enjoyed it so much that even after coming to Jesus, she refused to give it up. But while she was still going to clubs, she was getting into His Word and worshiping Him every day. After some time, she stopped enjoying being at the clubs, and stopped going. It no longer seemed fun to her. I remember this because she told me that God will change us. All we have to do is continue to come to Him, and He will change us. What we enjoy now, He will help us to no longer enjoy it. Bottom line, keep your focus always on Him, and He will deliver you from it. When you fall, and you will, not only once, but many times, never let that discourage you in coming to Him in worship and prayer. In His Time, you will be delivered from this. I know its a struggle, but remember this: "For a righteous person falls seven times and rises again..." Proverbs 24:16(a).

Is he a Calvinist? In that case, this and any other evangelical videos are a waste of time, because no matter how one's beliefs and behavior align with the ten points he is talking about, if God hasn't chosen you, you're going to Hell.

​@leahparker9033 I used to be an Arminian who hated Calvinism. Now I am a Calvinist who doesn't hate Arminianism... I absolutely despise it! All that to tell you that there are two kinds of people that do not exist. First, those who love God and want to spend eternity with him, but will be in hell because they are no elect. Second, those who hate God and want nothing to do with him but because God has chosen them, he drags them into heaven, kicking and screaming. I tell you this because your statement is wrong. No one is kept out of Heaven if they desire to be there, and no one is forced into heaven against their wishes. Let me know if you want some reading material available free online that God used to rescue me from the sheer stupidity of Arminianism.

As a former Arminian, turned Calvinist (Thank God), I have to say that if you are amazed as you say, then you have an incomplete understanding of how divine sovereignty and human responsibility are related. They are not enemies but friends. And friends do not need to be reconciled. We humans cannot reconcile these two truths, but they are fully reconciled in the mind of God. If you have never read Charles Spugeons sermons, I suggest you do so. You will see many times that he preaches God's sovereignty and the openly invites, nay begs, all to come to Christ. Grace and Peace to you.

@@Cici_Dial "they desire" and "against their wishes" sound pretty arminian to me.

Your comment is a little bit unclear. 1 John says to the believer to "confess", concerning a believer's forgiveness as a believer, and the believer is also "cleansed" from all unrighteousness. We are born and sealed with no condemnation "in" Christ. We walk in fellowship with God

@michaelbrookemusic are you asking because you’re sincerely seeking truth? Or have you already made up your mind? If you’re seeking truth, I will converse with you

@@stonewall11b1984 - Where then is your proof of the falsehood you claim!!

@@stonewall11b1984 - Typical...... No proof! Only opinion! Your atheistic beliefs are showing! Yet, the God you dismiss still loves you! ( John 3:16-18 ) ( Romans 5:8 ) Repent: Luke 13:3&5. Confess & Believe: Romans 10:9-10 &13!

@@paulrivalto1974 the Gospel According to John is my proof. Simple faith is all that is required to be saved. Not following the 10 Commandments, which the Bible calls a ministry of death/condemnation. Look to the savior and not the sinner.

@@stonewall11b1984 - Where in my original statement did I claim that following the 10 commandments would save anyone? The list of scriptures that confirm my assertions were written by John as well and breathed out by God..... 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Except that Matthew recorded Matthew 7:13-23 yet, Christ Himself spoke the words! 1 John 2:3-5, John 14:15, John 17:3..... Then why are you pitting scripture truth against other truth in scripture when the Bible is one narrative breathed out by God! Then please..... don't reference the gospel of John unless you can give specific verses or truths to support your claims!
