Warning to people who think they're saved but are not:

Wise Wise words of a 19th cent pastor: "They say they are saved, and they stick to it they are, and think it wicked to doubt it; but yet they have no reason to warran their confidence. There are those who are ready to be fully assured; there are others to whom it will be death to talk about it. There is a GREAT DIFFERENCE between presumption and full assurance. Full assurance is reasonable: it is based on solid ground. Presumption takes for granted, and with brazen face pronounces that to be its own which it has no right to whatsoever. Beware I pray thee, of presuming thou art saved; but if thou merely sayest, I trust in Jesus," it doth no save thee. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didn't once hate; if thou hast REALLY repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be reborn again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there by no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy spirit, then thy saying, "I'm saved," is but thine OWN assertion, and it may delude, but it will deliver thee. Our prayer ought to be, "Oh that thou wouldst bless me indeed, with real raith, with real salvation, with the trust in Jesus that is the essential of faith; not with the conceit that begets credulity. God preserve us from imaginary blessings!" - Spurgeon
