Question
QUESTION: Thank you.I can't believe that I have to say it again!All this time I thought that I was saved.But I guess not,=(.So you are saying that all this time I wasn't saved,if that be the case then no one in the world would be saved if you had to do it more than once?Also I am wondering if I have blaspemed.Sometimes when I say the word gay or something similar,I suddenly look at a picture of Jesus even though I wasn't tlakign about Him.And sometimes I think about blaspemy.I also wonder if I have sold my soul.I sometimes think about selling it.And sometimes I say "If I don't do this then my soul is....." I don't want to say the rest.But I don't want to sell my soul.Does this mean that I have?Please answer all of these questions!

ANSWER: If you want me to try and help, then I need you to be completely honest with me ...no secrets

What is the rest you won't tell me?

QUESTION: What do you mean?I have told you almost everything that is bnothering me!That is all.Now can you please answer it?Please?I just said the sinner's prayer again(and meant it).So now I can't be saved?Am I doomed?!?!?Is there no hope?Is He not going to forgive me now?

ANSWER: If you were really truthfully sincere and understanding of what now is required of you (to love and obey God)...then yes, my dear, you are saved.

as for what I meant...you had said...
"I don't want to say the rest.But I don't want to sell my soul"

so I thought you had not told me everything.

QUESTION: The reason fo why I didn't want to say the rest is becaus eI feel like I would be betting on my soul.Sometimes I say crazy things in my mind such as if I don't do somethign then this or that will happen to my osul.I normally don't say it out loud because I don't want it to happen and I always ask for forgiveness from it.I don't remember saying it out loud.Does this mean that He won't forgive me?

what you are thinking is wrong...only because it is satan that places those thoughts in your mind, so therefore you FEAR...

the battlefield is in our minds, and satans main weapon that he uses against us, is FEAR...you see, if he can cause you to fear..it causes you to lose your "faith" and belief in God....do you understand no?

You see, the only way to please God is "faith"  Hebrews 11:6 says:

"But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
