'Life is long'

Somebody is on to something:

It is sad to see many kids “accept Christ” and then live horrible lives and constantly be assured that they are saved because they “said the prayer” as a kid.

People are not saved because they said a ten second prayer as a child. You do not know you are saved because you remember the day you said your prayer.

You know you are saved because you continue in the faith. This is so frequently said in Scripture it boggles the mind how we’ve seemingly missed it completely.

I wish Jeff had mentioned baptism too, but his basic point stands.
