Profession doesn't always = Possession

When it comes to salvation profession does not guarantee possession.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Does the fact that someone professes to be a Christian guarantee that they are a Christian? Because someone says yes I have prayed to receive Jesus Christ does that statement of profession guarantee a possession of salvation?

The church is much divided on this issue.

Are people being given a false hope of salvation?

Should we be more careful in the theological articulation of God’s plan of salvation?

Certainly the only answers to this overarching question must come from the Bible—what do you think? Justify a comment from the Bible.
