It is impossible to say, "I am wrong about my belief about X". As soon as I admit that the belief is wrong, then it ceases to be my belief.

I was wrong, but I cannot be wrong now.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
First Epistle to the Church of the Thessalonians
The truth will make you free.
Gospel of John

I'm pretty sure I've known I was wrong about something... I feel like I know I knew I was wrong.

Isn't it a continuum of certainty?

Some things I know for certain are true, lots of things are probably true and a bunch of other stuff you kind of know may or may not be true so you don't put alot of faith in them.
