Many people think the evidence to their salvation rests in the fact that they have joined a certain church.Or they think that because they have been water baptized a certain way with a certain formula,they are on their way to heaven.
For example,sometimes you hear people say,you have got to belong to my church or you are not saved,or you have got to be baptized according to our formula or you are not saved,you wont get to heaven.
But nothing could be further from the truth ,according to the Bible the evidence of the be birth,Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
We are saved because we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord,and also we know we are saved because we love the brethren,1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
We have passed from spiritual death unto eternal life because we love the brethren.
If you don't have God's love abiding in your heart,you are not saved,it's that simple because if you are saved you have God's love because it's been shared in our heart by the holy Spirit.
