Are You Saved or Deceived?

Mat 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 

A preacher friend of mine which has been pastoring his church for forty years told me he believed that 90 per cent of his congregation was lost. That is in an independent Baptist Church.

Here are some other quotes that I found.  Carl M. Sweazy says in his book, Evangelism That Evangelizes, "Conservatively speaking, four-fifths of the human race are on their way to the 'lake of fire' and billions of persons of this generation, your generation and mine, are eternally doomed." Oswald Chambers, in his book, My Utmost for His Highest, made the statement that it was his conviction that only 15 per cent of all professing Christians had actually been saved. R. A. Torrey said he believed that 10 per cent of those who profess to be saved were really converted. Robert G. Lee, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, estimates that only one out of ten members in Southern Baptist Churches is saved. Franklin Logsdon estimates that only 2 per cent of the population of the world are saved., 98 per cent are lost. 

1Co 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

If you are not 100 per cent sure that if you died right now you would go to heaven then you had better better make sure now. All eternity in heaven or hell rest on your saved or lost condition. (see our salvation page.)
