This is what you stated. "There are few who take the narrow way that leads to life. FEW will be saved." Your statement assumes that your on the narrow road and I'm asking you how did you get on the narrow road? What did you do to qualify you being on the narrow road?
Well then you are now asking ANOTHER question which is a DIFFERENT question than the one you asked before aren't you?
My last post explained on one gets on the narrow road.
That's nice but you had asked how do you know you are on the narrow road not how one gets on the narrow road.
What you did was state you have to keep the commandments/commands of God.
Because your Bible tells you that's how you know you that you have come to know HIM.
If you want to confuse yourself, please go ahead, but don't expect me to participate in your confusion.
I "rightfully" pointed out , (using the thief on the cross) that one is saved by faith.
Your wrongfully confused the question at hand.
So, kindly point out to me where I am wrong in what I stated? And btw, the only thing you got right is when you said, "One verse doesn't nullify another." One has to know how to "RECONCILE" verses that "appear" to contradict each other. So again, what did I say wrong or what did I say that you disagree with and why?
IN GOD THE SON,

Your own confusion does not amount to my error.
If you want to GET ON the narrow road, you must do this and enter through this narrow gate:
"If anyone wishes to come after me,
he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save his soul will lose it but whoever loses his soul for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds." Matthew 16:24-27
- the Lord Jesus Christ
And once you are have denied yourself and taken up your cross and you are truly on that road, it will look like this:
By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commands. 4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.
By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought to walk just as He walked.
