>>That only He Judges and that you don't get to proclaim your own salvation before He does?<<

You don’t believe what scripture says?

1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal lifethat 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.

"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one" (John 10: 27-30).

Romans 10:13. Let us also be secure in knowing that "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved"

It’s been decided and is assured. To state otherwise is to deny the very words of Jesus.

Do you really need to use pejoratives? I’ve noticed you do that rather often. Is it because you are insecure in your positions and feel the need to attempt to demean the person you are speaking to? It doesn’t work. IMO it demeans you and the positions you take.

Twice in one post! How juvenile.

I believe what Scripture says. I don't believe what individual Protestant Popes say.

1 John is an exhortation to the believers, indeed it is a letter intended to bolster belief amongst Christians. It does not say anything about surety. It is about belief.

John 10 says that nobody can rid a true believer of salvation. Jesus never said that one cannot reject salvation - indeed, much of the Gospels is about rejecting Him and the consequences.

Romans is also an exhortation similar to 1 John. Yet we must set it side by side with Jesus telling us that not every who says Lord, Lord is saved. So therefore there is something more beneath the surface that so few Protestants can see, much less fathom.

I shall take that into account.

Stay tuned. I didn't do it for your benefit.
