I've been having serious doubts about my salvation. I'm afraid I just know intellectual facts. I know Jesus Christ is the only way into Heaven, and I know He's coming back soon. I know I'm a sinner that will perish and go to Hell if I don't trust the Lord as my Savior. I don't want to be left behind, please help me.
Faith is trusting Christ to do what He said He would do, and I don't want to have faith in my prayer or in my faith, I want to rest on Jesus alone.
What's the difference between my faith and the demons ( James 2:19) ?
I don't want these doubts anymore, I want full assurance of my salvation. How do I make sure I have received Christ?
All what you need to do is repent for the sins you have done in your life and ask God to forgive you and start a new clean life. But because we are humans and we have a nature vulnerable to sin we will eventually sin. That is why we are given the Blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our sins so we then move forward. The gospels describe what God expects from us to do in this life and finish our course victoriously. God will always stand next to you to give you His hand to raise you up when you fall. His is a good God who will do everything possible from His side to get you to heaven.
If you have already repented and asked for forgiveness then there is nothing else you must do to be saved. This is enough. So stop feeling guilty for things you shouldn't.
About trusting God you must know that this is a struggle for all christians. The apostles often doubted although they had seen unimaginable things, John the Baptist in prison also doubted if Jesus was the coming Saviour, although he was born for that reason, so who are we that we expect ourselves to be something more than them? All people we are the same. Join a Christian congregation, have fellowship with other christians, read, pray and by doing all that you will eventually realize that your faith increases, you will be moving from faith to faith. God often uses events in our lives to teach us to have faith in Him. So stop placing a load in your arms that you can't and shouldn't carry.
About demons. Demons believe in Jesus but that knowledge doesn't bring any repentance to them, they don't want to change. This is the difference between us and them.
So keep walking with Jesus with His grace and stop worrying about you being saved. From what you have written I realize that you are saved. A non saved person never worries if they are saved or not and never feel any guilt for things they do. But obviously this is not you.
