Then there are those people who think they are saved, but they are not.

Those people who make no profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

And then of course there are those people who desire to be saved.

We all fall into one of those four categories.

So you ask yourself a question, what's one of you in?

Are you saved and absolutely know that you are?

Could you be one of those persons who thinks you are, but you really cannot look back and say,
