Not everyone who claims to be saved, or even may believe him/herself to be saved really is saved. See Matthew 7:21-23, for what Jesus said. See also James 2:14,17; 2 Peter 1:8-11
You probably walked the aisle, made a public profession, got down on your knees and prayed, or had some public experience, when you first became a Christian. This is right, but in and of itself does not mean you actually had a conversion experience. You may even be busy with a lot of religious or church activity, but that in and of itself does not give salvation, either. Or you got baptised, again not assuring your salvation.
See 2 Corinthians 13:5-6; 1 John 5:12-13; John 20:31
Here are some steps to test yourself:
Have you believed in Jesus Christ as God, Lord and Savior? John 3:36,5:24,20:31;1 John 2:25,3:23
Do you enjoy fellowship with the Father and the Son? 1 John 1:2-3; John 17:3
Are you sensitive to sin? 1 John 1:5-10
Do you obey God’s word? 1 John 2:3-6, 5:3
Do you reject the world? 1 John 2:15-17, 4:4, 5:4-5;John 17:14-16
Do you eagerly anticipate Christ’s return? 1 John 3:2-3; Philippians 3:20-21; Titus 2:13
Is there a decreasing pattern of sin in your life? 1 John 3:4-10; 2 Corinthians 13:5
Do you suffer rejection because of your faith in Jesus Christ? 1 John 3:13; 2 Timothy 3:12
Do you love other believers? 1 John 3:10-14,17,19; John 13:35; 1 Peter 1:22, 4:8
Are your prayers answered? 1 John 3:22, 5:14-15
Are you able to discern between truth and error? 1 John 2:27, 5:10; Galations 4:6
See also 1 John 5:18-20. Do you know that you are in the beloved? Have you put your faith and your trust in Jesus? Have you ceased from any type of work or any type of merit, anything on your own that you can do to earn salvation, and simply rested in the fact that Jesus paid it all? When He was on the cross, His last words were, “it is finished” (John 19:30). The work that saves is finished, and you can rest in that today and know that you are a true believer in Jesus Christ. You can do that today, and then put your faith and trust in Him.
If you have any doubts about your salvation, you can pray sincerely and from your heart. “Father, I thank you that Jesus died for me. I confess that I have broken Your laws. Please forgive my sins. I receive the pardon right now. I need the Lord Jesus to come into my life, and give me a new heart with new desires. By Your Spirit, please give me the power to live a life that is pleasing to You. Thank you for forgiving me as You promised; thank You for the gift of eternal life. In Jesus’name, AMEN.” If you are already a backslidden Christian, or unsure of your salvation, just substitute “please stay in my life” for “come into”.
There is a prayer, the SINNER’S PRAYER, that is a little longer, but it is good for anyone who sincerely desires to ask Jesus Christ into his or her heart and life:

SUBJECT: POPE
From: Barry Chamish <chamish@...>

WELCOME TO JERUSALEM MEIN POPE
by Barry Chamish
Twelve years ago, I wrote the following famous edict:
Barry Chamish: Vatican plot against ISRAEL 1997
In March 1994, the newspaper Chadashot revealed a most remarkable secret of the Middle East "peace" process. A friend of Shimon Peres, the French intellectual Marek Halter, claimed in an interview that in May 1993, he delivered a letter from Peres to the pope. Within, Peres promised to internationalize Jerusalem, granting the UN political control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Vatican hegemony of the holy sites within. The UN would give the PLO a capital within its new territory and East Jerusalem would become a kind of free trade zone of world diplomacy.
Halter's claim was backed by the Italian newspaper La Stampa which added that Arafat was apprised of the agreement and it was included in the secret clauses of the Declaration Of Principles signed in Washington in September 1993.
In March 1995, the Israeli radio station Arutz Sheva was leaked a cable from the Israeli Embassy in Rome to Peres's Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem confirming the handover of Jerusalem to the Vatican. This cable was printed on the front page of the radical leftwing Israeli newspaper, Haaretz two days later. A scandal erupted and numerous rabbis who had invited Peres for Passover services cancelled their invitations in protest of his treachery. Peres reacted by claiming that the cable was real but that someone had whited out the word, "not;" the cable really said that Israel would "not" hand Jerusalem over to the holy pontiff.
Illustrating the sorry political state of Israel's rabbis, they accepted this cockamamie excuse and re-invited Peres to their tables. However, in the widely distributed minutes of a meeting with Clinton in 1997, Peres reiterated his diplomacy, ending with the words, "as I had previously promised the Holy See."
So what did the Swami Barry report? That Foreign Minister Shimon Peres had cooked up a deal offering the Vatican sovereignty over East Jerusalem and its holy sites. That the UN would secure and police the Vatican enclave. And that the PLO would be granted a national capital in the Vatican's East Jerusalem territory.
So let's see if my reporting panned out. Oh, you know it did to the smallest detail, but let's read this week's news from Jerusalem anyway:
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710858577&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
'Peres wants to yield sites to Vatican'
President Shimon hand over Israeli Peres is willing to sovereignty of key Christian holy sites to the Vatican, a proposition that is reportedly opposed by Interior Minister Eli Yishai and that has ruffled feathers among other senior government officials, Army Radio reported on Monday.
Beit Hanassi could not be reached for comment on Monday, as it does not issue statements to the press while the president is abroad.
According to the radio report, the president is exerting pressure on the government to give up sovereignty over six sites, including the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, the Coenaculum on Mount Zion, Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, and the Church of the Multiplication on the Kinneret.
The report quoted Beit Hanassi as saying that talks had been going on long enough, and that the time had come to compromise with the Vatican and come to an agreement.
On Sunday, according to the report, Beit Hanassi requested that the Interior Ministry sign documents ceding sovereignty. However, Yishai refused.
"Every concession like this limits the Israeli government's ability to function as a sovereign government in the area," the interior minister was quoted as saying.
Former Meretz chairman Yossi Beilin, however, was quoted as saying that Israel had not behaved satisfactorily in recent dealings with the Vatican.
"We need to compromise with them," he said.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/131032
(IsraelNN.com) Ten-year-long negotiations between Israel and the Vatican appear to be drawing to a close, with concerns rising that Israel will cede control of the building housing King Davids Tomb in Jerusalem.
The Bilateral Permanent Working Commission a team of negotiators representing Israel and the Vatican released an upbeat press release at the end of last week, speaking of "meaningful progress," "great cordiality," and a mutual commitment to reaching a final agreement "as soon as possible.
Tellingly, a plenary meeting has been announced for this Thursday, April 30, at the Foreign Ministry. The meeting will be chaired by the two states deputy foreign ministers, Danny Ayalon and Monsignor Pietro Parolin. It is widely believed that the agreement will be signed then.
Church Demands Parts of Mt. Zion
The two states have been negotiating a treaty since March 1999 on matters having to do with Church-owned or Church-claimed property in Israel. Among the most significant issued under negotiations is the Vaticans demand for the Last Supper room, located on the second floor of the ancient Mt. Zion building that also houses the tombs of Kings David, Solomon, and Hezekiah.
In addition, the Vatican is claiming areas around the Kinneret Sea, as well as in Caesaria and Jerusalem.
Hints and implications in the Vatican and Catholic press have long indicated that the negotiations are expected to end successfully, from the Catholic vantage point, in time for Pope Benedicts visit to Israel two weeks from now.
Blueprint of an Agreement
A Foreign Ministry official confirmed in 2005 that a blueprint of a possible agreement with the Vatican has been received. The proposed contract, as Arutz-7 reported at the time, read as follows:
"The State of Israel hands over to the Holy See the use of the Cenacle [the room of the event known as the Last Supper, above King David's tomb - ed.], of the access path to it, and of the spaces adjacent to it... It is the Holy See's intention to inform the Bishops - and through them the world's Priests - that the Catholic Church has been given the use of the Cenacle, inviting them to visit the Holy Place together with their faithful... The Holy See hands over this use of the Cenacle to the Custody of the Holy Land [which acts on behalf of the Holy See]... [which] will keep the Cenacle open from 6 AM to 8 AM for the celebration of the Holy Mass... Official liturgical celebrations of non-Catholic Churches can take place only upon prior written permission by the Custody of the Holy Land."
The proposed agreement also stipulated that the Holy See will preserve the historic character of the site and keep it open to pilgrims and tourists, and that Israel will provide for the safety of the site. The Foreign Ministry official said at the time that Israel is not prepared to relinquish its jurisdiction over this area. The world will find out later this week whether this position is still valid.
After Peres meets with Obama in Washington on May 6:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/131215
U.S. President Barack Obama told Jordan's King Abdullah two weeks ago to meet with leading Muslim Arab countries and persuade them to accept changes in the Saudi 2002 Initiative, according to the London-based Arabic language Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper.
The report reflects the presidents swift action on the Middle East since he was elected last November.
President Obamas major proposed alteration in the Saudi peace plan is for Arab countries to grant citizenship to approximately five million Arabs who are descendants of former Israelis while allowing them the right to move to a new Palestinian Authority country.
The Saudi plan calls for them to be allowed to immigrate to Israel, a suggestion that virtually every Israeli leader categorically rejects. President Obama also reportedly told the king that he wants the United Nations flag raised over holy sites in eastern Jerusalem, where the PA would have total sovereignty under the Saudi plan.
The presidents master plan calls for Arab countries to set a timetable for raising the Israeli flag in their capitals, a sign of recognition of the Jewish State. Simultaneously, the PA flag would be raised in Jerusalem neighborhoods, a move that would virtually make the Fatah-led government the de facto government in a significant portion of the Jewish capital.
Battle for Jerusalem
Iyar 14, 5769, 08 May 09 04:39
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu (INN)
The PA considers their demand for Jerusalem to be non-negotiable, and Asian Online this week reported that President Obama told visiting King Abdullah of Jordan two weeks ago that the United Nations flag should fly over holy places in the city.
And with the battle lines now clearly drawn, Israel's Vatican, the Chief Rabbinate, issued a public edict forbidding Israel to give the Holy See or his cronies one inch of our land.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/164687
Chief Rabbinate Forbids Transferring
Sites to vatican
Iyar 12, 5769, 06 May 09 01:31
(IsraelNN.com) The Council of Holy Sites of the Chief Rabbinate released a statement Wednesday saying that it was forbidden for Israel to transfer authority of sites in Israel to the Vatican. The Vatican has requested that six sites of a religious nature be transferred to its authority in advance of the Popes visit to Israel next week.
The Councils statement read: According to Jewish Law, it is forbidden for any person to give a part of the Land of Israel to the Vatican. Therefore we call on the Prime Minister, Ministers, and Members of Knesset to immediately cease discussions of this nature.
ENTER THE SHABAK
So with the issue spreading and the Rabbinate taking real action, the government sent in its usual infiltrators to quash the brewing scandal. Agents Ben Gvir and Marzel sued the pope for the crimes of Titus and Rome 2000 years ago, shifting the real issues to the realms of the absurd, and associating all anti-Papal outrage in the public's eye with the likes of these two radical clowns.
Thus sayeth Benedict Ratzinger, "Let's Make A Deal!"
(IsraelNN.com) Pro-Land of Israel activists Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Gvir will roll out the red carpet for Pope Benedict XVIs arrival by pressing criminal charges against him.
As the Pope arrives in Israel on Monday, the activists will be at the Jerusalem Magistrates Court, filing a criminal complaint in which the Pope tops the list of defendants.
The criminal complaint details a record of treasures and possessions that belong to the Jewish People that are allegedly being held in the Vatican in Rome. Among the treasures claimed are vessels plundered from the Temple by the Romans under the command of then-general Titus, including the seven-branched golden Menorah.

A Paragraph from the Blech review of my new book:
THE conPROMISED LAND details just how compromised Israel has become both wittingly and unwittingly - caught up in the plans of the Council of Foreign Relations, the Vatican and the ever-pervasive 'Jewish' Sabateans. Too many these days think that these groups have no real teeth but as this book demonstrates their plans are far from innocent and their dismembering of the Jewish State is going from strength to strength. The book is of course disturbing, yet at the same time liberating, as for so many of us the 'official story' of Israel has never really added up and here we can understand the Real Story and even one hopes, try and expose the lies, plans, cover-ups and conspiracies and save Israel while there is still time.
THE conPROMISED LAND can be ordered direct from the publisher http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback_book/the_conpromised_land/6398777
or, if that proves difficult, from the author at chamishba@...

My Atlanta lecture on the upcoming papal visit was a somewhat controversial hit. I noted for a tv interview that the pope had promised to perform miracles in Israel. Yes, he will walk underwater, he will cure a ham, and he will make a blind man deaf. You don't want to miss the Wermacht volunteer when he gets to his Holy Land. And join two activists protesting the concessions Israel will concede to the Holy See:

Warning: Sunspot Cycle
Beginning to Rise |
|
|
from Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media
When the Sun sneezes it's Earth that gets sick. It's time for the Sun to move into a busier period for sunspots, and while forecasters expect a relatively mild outbreak by historical standards, one major solar storm can cause havoc.
Like hurricanes, a weak cycle refers to the number of storms, but it only takes one powerful storm to create chaos, said scientist Doug Biesecker of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's space weather prediction center.
A report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a storm as severe as one in 1859 occurred today, it could cause $1 trillion to $2 trillion in damage the first year and take four to 10 years to recover.
