HarleyD: If left to my own devices I will fall back to my evil ways but God has told me He won’t allow that to happen.
A8: In a dream, a vision, the Bible? Where has He told you this?
HarleyD: I trust Him because He has stated it.
A8: Where did He state it?
HarleyD: Would you like me to quote every single verse for every single doctrine?
No. There is only one claim in question here, and that is how one can now know with certainty that one is elect for glory. I don't need verses for "every single doctrine". If you know of even one verse that gives one infallible knowledge *now* that one is elect for glory, I would like to see it.

If you know of even one verse that gives one infallible knowledge *now* that one is elect for glory, I would like to see it. If you don't know that your "elected" *now* these verses are utterly stupid...
Col 3:12-15 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender feelings of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering, forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone has a complaint against any. As Christ forgave you, so also you do. And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you also are called in one body, and be thankful.
If you don't know that you are the elect *now* then how can you do any of this?
