None so far yet have told how they know they are saved.
Gods word, the Bible, being true does not make one saved even if you believe it is true.

Jesus is immortal, what is he going to be saved from?
Jesus has been perfect, meaning sinless.
Are we perfect, meaning sinless?
Nope.

The Bible is about one thing..Jesus. Both old and new testaments. You must believe the bible cause that is how God thru the Holy Spirit speaks thru, more often than not.

Let's say for the sake of discussion that Jesus Christ is sinless and that he has forgiven us our sins. If he forgives our sins do we still have them? If so, what was the point of forgiveness?
Paul said, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:1)
If, perchance, you have been made free from the law of sin and death why would you continue to sin?
The scriptural context of the word "perfect" refers to spiritual maturity. The kingdom is only for the spiritual mature. That is the point of the parable of the ten virgins. Some were not ready when the bridegroom came but some were. Those who were ready went with him and the marriage door was shut. There is only one bride so when the marriage door is shut that is it and the door will not open again.
Be ready spiritually. Be mature spiritually.
Yes, it is sometimes referred to as serving one's country. Many people ignore those who sacrificed life and limb by presuming freedom is free. I served so that you and others including myself might have freedom of religion and speech.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The military requires heartbeats.

You should quote Jesus' word, not mere man's.
Your faith is worldly friend, using men's wisdom. It is called humanism. Your faith must be centered with Jesus' word, not any man or society.
Do you understand what Jesus is saying with "His followers are not of the world, as I am not of it"?
there you go quoting another man.
1)Do you know Jesus says His followers are not of the world?

True.
The kingdom is inside and the world could not contain the books that could be written about all that.
When I went into the military my faith at the time corresponded to Secretary Mattis's quote: "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
I was eighteen when I enlisted.

Matthew 19
25When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”…
It's simple, when I enlisted I was not Christian and had no desire to be.
Life is simpler when anything goes.
