I don't know exactly which one is true, though I tend to lean closer to the second option. I'm not going to pretend to know the answer. I do know that I am saved and I know that I am instructed to share the gospel with everyone...that's all I need to know. I just trust God with the rest.
To answer your questions:
How many people can tell me that they got saved from researching about it? Not many, because salvation requires faith.
What if I'm wrong? If I thought there was a chance that I could be wrong, I wouldn't have given God everything to start with. The bible says to count the cost before accepting Jesus, which I did, and I know that it's worth it.

ok.
If we live under god then we have no free will, otherwise if we did we wouldn't be omniscient or all present imo. It's a contradiction. Under god we're all slaves to his will or he isn't the god you claim he is.
You said that you're meant to share the gospel with everyone but what happens when someone contests it? do you say they should just have faith or do you try and rationalise it with them?
So you honestly think you're 100% right and your only basis is faith? Don't you think that's a bit dangerous? To your human dignity I mean. I know a lot of people that are quite deep in their faith but might have doubt, which is better than having none at all ... to me anyway, unless you've been told what to think about your faith.
please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you say on the creationism thread that you aren't meant to debate with non Christians?
