It is NOT for us to say...

Back and forth it seems to go...
Over and over people declare other people saved...
Last week it was on Jeremy Camps Facebook page...
Claimed 12,000 were saved at concert...
Another friend claims a 4 yo is saved...

Men don't declare men saved!!!
That is the work of the Holy Spirit.

What harm is there in it?
Click on the link below and see... in the 1st sentence the word "saved" is used.

South Carolina Preacher Charged With Kidnapping, Rape

Here is a hypothetical scenerio...

Suppose a professing Christian (Pastor or Layman makes no difference in this) who it is noted that they have been seen coming out of a strip bar, more than once and stops by the liquor bar many times...
Suppose that someone says that they have suspicions about his salvation...
And that the Church should confront him on this...

The typical response will be, you cannot say that he is not saved.
He prayed the sinners prayer several years ago at the revival, and if he said the prayer then he is saved, he is just carnal.

But notice, They tell you that you do not have authority to say that someone is unsaved, but they claim authority to declare them saved themselves, setting up a double standard.
