First, how do you know that the word "elect" in Col 3:12 is referring to "election to glory" and not merely "election to grace"? Without knowing *that*, this verse would not show you that you are elect for glory.

Second, how do you know that no apostates-to-be ever read this verse and interpret it to mean that they are elect for glory? If apostates-to-be can read this verse and interpret it that way, then just because you interpret it as meaning that you are elect for glory does not show infallibly that you are elect for glory. You could still turn out to be one of those apostates-to-be who mistakenly think the verse is referring to them.
