Dear dayapelz, It can seem confusing. The Bible teaches that we are saved by faith in Christ alone. Romans 10:13 says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But this ‘calling’ is not with your voice alone, but with your whole heart, mind and spirit. It means repenting of sin at the moment of salvation, and through life as we do continually miss the mark. It means striving to hear and obey God on our daily lives. There are many out there who look and act like they believe, but only God knows our heart. It’s good to do a heart-check occasionally, taking it before the Lord in prayer and He will either give you assurance or will convict you of sin. I will be praying for you! Patti
