Well, enjoy thinking your salvation is assured while you can, because you may be in for a very rude discovery when you meet your Maker. Such presumption is very much advised against in your Bible. I, however, trust that because I live as Christ Himself taught us we should live, I can look forward to the reward Christ has promised.

Whoa their Roman Catholic friend.....you've gone off script.

Roman Catholics have told us we cannot know for sure if we're saved and that to believe so is the sin of presumption which would be a mortal sin in Roman Catholicism.

How do you gain your assurance in light of what Rome teaches against this?

It sounds like you're back to trying to keep the Law. Good luck with that!

You have it right, presumption is considered a sin in Catholic teaching, and rightly so since it is cited as a sin in the divinely inspired Holy Scriptures. However, you have incorrectly accused me of committing that sin because I haven’t expressed any such presumption.
