BTW, the notion that we can have no sense of security in our Salvation delivered by the Blood of Jesus smacks me as a huge insult to Christ’s Blood and to our Salvation through that Blood.

However, I’ll leave it to the Calvinists to talk about the SECURITY of our Salvation in Christ.

You don't have to be a "Calvinist" to believe in our eternal security in Christ. We are saved by grace through faith not will be, may be, hope to be.

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 5:10-13
Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
