List of Scriptures that validate and do not validate your salvation

List of Scriptures that validate and do not validate your salvation
by John MacArthur


This is taken from John MacArthur's Study Bible. I originally got this from one of my sisters in Christ before I got the Study Bible. People who are not genuine believers can have what is on the first list. Genuine believers can have characteristics of the qualities on the first list as well. If you are saved, according to Scripture, you will definitely have what is on list number two. We need to examine ourselves daily.

"Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?..unless indeed you are disqualified." -- 2 Corinthians 13:5.


List 1 ( neither proves nor disproves one is saved):

1.Visible Morality (Matthew 19:16-21, Matthew 23:27)

2.Intellectual Knowledge of the Bible (Romans 1:21, Romans 2:17)

3.Religious Involvement (Matthew 25:1-10)

4.Active Ministry (Matthew 7:21-24)
