Please pray for my son. The devil has really been attacking him mentally. My son keeps questioning his salvation as the devil keeps putting doubts in his head. My son just turned double digits so he has a lot going on already with hormones and just growing up.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This verse says we are at war with the devil at all times! Please pray that the Angels of God protect my son and rebuke the devil and his demons and leaves my son alone! I pray this in the name of Jesus!

Tell you son that doubt is the devils way of keeping him from growing in the faith and becoming the man that God wants him to be.

Have him read the story of David and Goliath. Have him learn to face his giants with God's help.

Prayers also for him.

... My son keeps questioning his salvation...


John 10:28
"... and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand."
 
@DirtySCREW , I know it may not be very consoling, but I was much like that until the age of 33. Life finds a way of brining you back to the truths of youth. I will pray for you both.
This is truth right here. I didn't return to the faith of my youth till I was 31.

We all get tested, may the love of Jesus and your love guide your son.
 
Your son may question his salvation as he finds himself desiring to do things that are not in accordance with God's word. This is evidence of his Salvation. He would not feel guilt without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The test of salvation is not looking at your actions but judging your heart. Does he believe that salvation comes only through Christ? Or does he believe that he must add to Christ? Your son is not saved by his performance nor is he condemned by it. He is saved by Grace and Grace alone through the acceptance of Christ, according to the Gospel. (Christ lived, died, and was resurrected)

We all struggle with the sinful desires of the flesh and we all fail. It's OK, Christ is bigger than our failures. We acknowledge that sin lives in this flesh and we fight daily to resist the temptation to cave to our sinful desires, not to save ourselves, but to honor God who saves us according to His mercy, not our performance.
 
I will definitely pray for him and his parents.

I can personally relate to his struggles because I spent years questioning my salvation. I still to this day to not know the exact moment I was saved but I know that I am. I've talked to others that struggle with not knowing the exact moment as many seem to. God works with people differently so some people can say at 4:58 on Tuesday the 24th I was saved. Others can't.
I like to think of my salvation like hand forging a knife. It was a slow, methodical process that resulted in a blade. It didn't start out sharp(why I don't know the exact moment) but over the course of the process it got sharper and finer. The knife was clearly visible through the process but the sharpness was not there at the start so many, including myself, may not call it a blade or a knife.

Again, from experience....if he is questioning his salvation that shows that it's important to him. He has conviction, either to you and what you've taught him or to God. Neither one in my eyes is bad because it shows he values your instruction and at the very minimum he values God. Questioning God or question salvation is not unbiblical....Paul questioned himself in Romans 7.

14For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. 15For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. 17So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

21I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, 23but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? 25Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

Im telling you man you can find his stuff all over. He recently took the senior pastor position at Buelah Baptist in statesville in west Iredell. Honestly he did not lead me to Christ but it was with his help that I am where I am in my walk with him today.

Beulah sponsors my school. There are many wonderful disciples there. I'll have to look for more of his sermons.


Forgive me for hijacking this thread.

Praying for your son DS. I know a little of what he is going through. If I can help either of you, don't hesitate.

This verse has helped me along the way.
1John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
 
Some good stuff in this thread! Prayers sent DS.
