"Look here's my job, and yours (as Christians) for that matter; it is to get the gospel out to as many people as possible. I'm not in the job of "converting" people. I'm not in the job of "saving" people, that's not what I do; that's what God does. But my job description is to proclaim the gospel and pray in hopes that seed will land on receptive soil..
Having said that, if a person does put their faith in Jesus Christ, I do think we can assure them of their salvation. Why? Because the bible does!
In 1 John 10 it says;
'Anyone who believes in the Son of God has his testimony in their heart'
In Romans 8:16 it says;
'God's spirit bear's witness with our spirit that we our the children of God'
In John 5:24 it says;
'I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.'
And my favorite
In 1 John 5:13 it says;
'I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life'
It is a beautiful thing where God will give us the assurance of our salvation" ~Pastor Greg Laurie
