I stand on the promises of God my Savior. That's how I know.
I know because at the moment I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior -- a great inner peace came from the Holy Spirit coming to indwell me.
And, yes, standing on the promises of Christ my Lord -- there's a song 'standing on the promises of Christ my King.
And "Amazing Grace" and ' The Old Rugged Cross'
All of those are how I know.

Voddie Bauchum. He is from LA Cal, educated in Texas, reformed and preaches in Zambia. If you watch the video, Voddie is the black man with the cool beard.

You want to hear some of the best sermons of the present and not to distant past, search for Voddie Bacchus. He's got some of the best I've ever watched. Him and Paul Washer.
A person's life / actions will tell -- and for the person -- the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will be in the form on inner peace that hadn't been there before.
Each individual is responsible to God for himself. Scripture tells us that 'we' Can know that we are a child of God. That we have eternal life. No need or reason to 'not be sure'.
And there are Lots of people who feel 'safe' when they go to church -- they go inside and feel that something 'special' will happen. And there are those who will observe a person being at church and react with 'at least they are coming to church so they can hear the Gospel unto salvation and be saved.' And since a person's salvation is a 'personal' thing. Maybe no one will ever take the time To talk with them.
You are beginning to sound like "Beetow's" 'many or few' thread.

Jesus said He would build His church. Some how man's choosing allows God to do the building.

'And many other signs truly did Jesus
.. in the presence of His disciples,
.... which are not written in this book:
But these are written,
.. that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ,
.... the Son of God;
...... and that believing
........ ye might have life
.......... through His name.
(John 20:30-31)
Hello there, @PloughBoy,
Like @JerryfromMass in reply#2, I know that I am a 'Son' because I am trusting in God to fulfill His promises, and those promises are sure. I have no confidence in the flesh, so I do not rely on feelings, or experiences to prove the 'sonship' spirit that I have received. I simply trust God, in Christ Jesus.

And, yes, as a born again believer - we Are to be growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We will want to do God's Will in our lives. "In all our ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct our paths."
We Also have satan who's still alive and well on this planet and wants to side-track us Away from God's Word and His plan.
Yesterday in Sunday School we were talking about how easy it can be to get side-tracked away From God's Word. The inner struggle at times. Lots of times. And that we Do have the Holy Spirit indwelling us -- as born again believers to help us be focused.
