As you me I am seventy nine years old, been a Christian for sixty two of these years and am absolutely sure of my salvation
So I guess you’re not “working out your salvation in fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12).
By the way, earlier we were talking about “Baptist Christians”, I am curious as to where Baptists (especially Southern Baptists) fall as to their own belief of who is and who is not, a Christian:
**The Southern Baptist Convention - A Closer Look
Though the discussions and information included under this category deal with important topics, they are not the most spiritually important ones. The key issue is how a person or church becomes truly Christian – anointed, Biblical, fruitful. Not all Southern Baptists are Christians; some have proven to be nominal Christians – Christians in name only. And not all, or even most, Christians are Southern Baptists. Countless non-Southern Baptists, and indeed, non-Baptists, have received Christ as Savior and Lord.
