they don't even know if they are choosing to believe Jesus correctly or not?

Why don't they believe it is necessary to believe Jesus?

Romans 8:2
For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

John 8:36 plus Romans 8:2 If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

They are not yet free, by their admission, they don't even know if they are choosing to believe Jesus correctly or not?

How does not knowing if you are believing Jesus correctly equate to believing it is not necessary to believe Jesus?

Perhaps some are still in the process of working out their own salvation, with fear and trembling. <= Biblical.

How long was it after you repented and believed on the Lord Jesus before you were free of all fear and doubt?

There is condemnation for those who, by their admission, don't even know if they are choosing to believe Jesus correctly or not?
for some one who doesn't know if they are not believing correctly how can they be condemned

They are not in Jesus because they choose, by their own admission, not to believe.
And your sin remains. That's a nasty stain you've got there. How will you ever get it out?

How can you be dancing if you don't believe that you're dancing correctly!?

There is something valid to the title tho which is no disrespect to anyone.

I know we can be assured we are saved and we can feel we are saved by how we are as people and how we feel inside.

But I often struggle understanding can we truly know we have our salvation.

I know we can know from what the word teaches us. But I'm talking about the final day, can we truly know that final day will come before it's come.

Yes we can in many ways from the word too

But can we take it for granted before it's come

I don't know anyone who professes to be saved that does not know that is the precious blood of Jesus that cleansed them of their sin, and made it possible for them to be called the children of God. Every Christian I have ever met knows AT LEAST one Scripture by heart, that being John 3:16.

John, Chapter 3:

15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
