PLEEAAAAASE ANSWER! I DONT KNOW IF IM SAVED OR NOT AND I REAAALLY NEED HELP!!!! D:?

good question - in advance thanks for reading.

The greatest difference between a faithful Christian and a non-Christian is that the faithful can recognize when they have sinned. Christians are still sinners; just because you are a Christian doesn't mean that you are without sin.

It's important to remember that Jesus dies as a sacrifice for mankind's sin. A first step would be to acknowledge this fact, which you have done. Now you can hold yourself to Christian standards, which you obviously do.

You fit in where most Christian feel they are in their Christian walk; perhaps you are a little harder on yourself, but that's not a bad thing as that'll keep you on the straight and narrow. Now here's the kicker.

You need to WANT to not sin because you:
1. Love God and Jesus
2. You know what is expected of you as a Christian [those Christian standards]
3. You need to understand God's Grace a little more.....

.......in that his Grace provided a way for us sinners to be reconciled back to him. This is the gift of God, his Grace which provides a means of redemption - which by rights we don't deserve. This GIFT still needs to be taken.

So while we couldn't find redemption on our own it is not a guarantee of our salvation, you still need to take the gift and run with it. Philippians 2:10-12 reads...10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling...."

Salvation through God's Grace and Jesus' sacrifice is not something we could do on our own, but we still have to run with it......
James 2:14-18 reads......14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. 18 But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

So, do you help others when the need it, do you attempt emulate Jesus in your life? If so you're being a conscientious Christian. Hell on the other hand is a gross misinterpretation of the original language from which the scriptures were written .

Compare Psalms 16:10 with Acts 2:17 in both King James and New American Standard and you'll see what I mean. The word Hell in the King James is a mistranslation from the Hebrew and Greek words for "Grave" which has been corrected in some translations. Other places in scripture still adhere to the word Hell, but these are also misinterpretation. Hell was never threatened by God....the wages of sin was always DEATH, not eternal conscious torment in a place called Hell. The resurrection taught of by Jesus and understood by the Jewish nation was losing ground in ancient Greece, so the idea of an immortal soul was devised to keep the faith moving forward. Everlasting life was promised to the faithful, not to the wicked in a place called Hell. Nothing in scripture indicates that a soul is indestructible.

Don't take my word for it, study this on your own so you don't have to worry about burning in a place called Hell. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS NO PUNISHMENT FOR THE UNREPENTANT SINNER - now your job is to see how this all fits together - this will strengthen your faith while for many others it would rip it apart.

Anyway, I think you're doing just fine as long as you remain faithful because of your love for Jesus and your desire to be more like him in addition to doing the work they both commanded us to do - not because you are worried you'll go to a place called HELL.

I hope this eases your mind, but convicts you in other areas.
God Bless.
