A "strawman"??? The fallacy is your very own and you just PROVED it by saying assurance of salvation is a fallacy, but then in the next sentence you try to do just that! You say, "Assurance comes from enduring in faithful obedience to the end! Anything less yields the reverse.". Explain how that in any way says someone CAN have assurance of their salvation? So, which is it? Can a person KNOW they HAVE eternal life or can't they? You been claiming all along that no one could know until they died and found out if they made it - stayed "faithful", which to you means obeyed all the Torah. Do you even realize how you contradict yourself? And you claim Catholics are the "Nicolaitans", what are you?

Your idea of assurance is the fallacy.

Assurance can only come from the knowledge that one is following his master’s commandments.

By being obedient to his words.

That is precisely what “belief” means.
