Thank you both very much for your answers concerning assurance. I don't think I'm completely there yet in putting it all together, but I know that I know more now than I did before. So, thank you both again for your posts.

God bless.

Thank you for your questions. They prompted me to examine the tenets of my faith that I held intuitively, and formulate them, and thereby strengthen my faith. This is a perfect example of why arguing over matters of faith is so beneficial to both sides of the argument.
