Doubting Salvation is Proof of Salvation?

In a recent article by David Wise of "March To Zion" web page, a Hardshell Baptist publication, titled "How Do You “Know” That You’re a Child of God?" (See here), the author wrote:

"It is a very common struggle in this world for God’s children to wonder “am I really saved?” Let me first say before we dig into this lesson, that is never a question that a person will ever ask that is unregenerate, so just your desire to ask that question is evidence that you are already born again and the Spirit inside you is stirring for you to ask that question."

The words in bold type (by me) represent a far-fetched theological idea. It is similar to another thing that Hardshells say, which is - "if you have ever felt convicted of sin and realized your guilt before God, then this proves that you are regenerated." In my recent post titled "Are Muslims Saved?" (See here) I spoke of this idea, and I cited Elder C.H. Cayce who wrote:

"...if we are sorry for sin and grieve on account thereof, it is because we are alive spiritually." (Cayce's Editorials, Vol. 3, page 169)

I showed how ridiculous is this view, using the case of Judas to disprove it. I wrote:

"Judas felt sorry for what he had done. (Matt. 27: 3) Does that mean that he was a child of God possessing divine life? Did not Jesus say that Judas was a "demon"? (John 6: 70) Did Jesus not say that it would have been better that Judas had never been born? (Matt. 26: 24) This one case disproves what Cayce said, and what many other Hardshells have affirmed since his day." 

Not only that, but I have shown in several writings that if conviction of sin and guilt, and the Holy Spirit bringing a sinner to acknowledge his lost condition, is an evidence of a saved and justified state, then this makes the Holy Spirit a liar. I write about this in this post (here). Elder Throgmorton in his debate with Elder John Daily made this point and Daily avoided responding to it. However, Elder Sarrels responded to it in his "Systematic Theology" by saying: "...the quickened person in conviction sees himself NOT as he actually is, but as he would be without the grace of God." That makes the Holy Spirit a liar.

In another recent post (See here) I cited from the "Signs of the Times," an "Old School" Baptist paper, from 1862 where a brother Johnson wrote: "If I should hear a person say,- "I know that I am a christian," I confess that I should have doubts of his christianity."

So, if you want to gain assurance of your salvation, you must doubt your salvation, or doubt that you are a Christian. If you want to know you are saved you must say "Am I saved?" 

When someone says that he doesn't know that he is saved, he probably is not saved. What if instead of asking "am I saved?" a person asked "am I lost?" If the former question proves that the person asking was saved, why doesn't the latter question prove that the person asking is lost? When a person doubts his salvation, he ought to be shown how to be saved and sure of it. When a lost person doubts that he is lost, he ought to be shown why he is wrong.

All this is evidence that the "Primitive Baptists" are quasi Universalists, and is one of the reasons why they have had so many of their number go off into full Universalism, being known as "Primitive Baptist Universalist."
