Ok... You get "baptized" ( I put " " on that because Jesus said in Matt 28:
18 "And
Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying:
All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations;
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
You're not using the proper words, invalidating the 'baptism'. By saying you're sorry for your sins and getting dunked in the water you are simply getting wet. A frightening thought for those who were 'baptized' this way. Not saved yet.
You come out of water speaking in tongues or not, it will come later".
Does anyone understand what you are saying when you're talking in tongues? I'll bet no. If you don't know what you are saying in tongues and no one else does either what's the point? It sounds demonic to me.
Done, Finished.
So now you can go and sin and still be saved? Say you're married and decide to have an affair for a while. Or embezzle $200,000.00 because the opportunity fell into your lap. Are you still saved if you die soon after your transgression?
I know you said, "
Now fast, pray, live your life as best you can using the big 10 as your guide."
But does it really matter if you're already saved?
I ask this because I knew a woman who was 'saved' as was her friend. Her friend ended up embezzling a lot of money from her church. I asked the woman if her friend was still saved, and what she told me was that she must
not have truly been saved to begin with. But she THOUGHT she was. How many people think they are saved but aren't really?
How does one know if they are truly saved? I don't think you can answer that. That's because no one can know if they are saved until they die and meet God.
Presuming you are saved is the sin of presumption. Be careful.
