Wrong, and Correct. You are supposed to preach to Christians that they have assurance of their salvation because it's in the Word!
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1 John 5:13 KJV)
You should be more like John and help people bear more fruit as faithful Christians who don't spend their lives doubting their salvation because their preacher never taught them to have assurance.
For Jesus' sake,
Stephen
EDIT: Sorry to repeat the passage Brandon gave, just now noticed it. Hehe.
