Therefore, (4) One can know with certainty that one is elect only at or after death.

Do you call yourself a Christian? How do you know that you will not fall away 10 years from now and become a Muslim?

Based upon your argument you should not even wear the title until after you die.

Do you call yourself a Christian?

Yes, but I prefer the term 'Catholic'; any heretic can call himself a "Christian".

How do you know that you will not fall away 10 years from now and become a Muslim?

I don't. Only God knows the future. Peter emphatically insisted that he [Peter] would never deny Christ. What happened? He immediately denied Jesus three times. We cannot depend upon our confidence in our own will-power to show us that we are elect. And if Calvinists are turning to their own will-power for assurance of election, then how is that not Pelagianism?

Based upon your argument you should not even wear the title until after you die.

How would that follow?
