I have doubts that I am a real Christian from time to time. Is it possible to know for sure that I am saved and will go to heaven when I die?
Yes,1 John 5:12-13 says that you can know beyond a doubt that you are a true believer.
No, it is not possible to know for sure. You may be saved one minute and lost the next.
I am not sure.
