>>There is nothing in Paul’s epistles that declares guaranteed salvation to anyone<<

So the guarantee of the Holy Spirit isn't good enough for you?

Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory.

Wake up CB!

The Ephesians were a solid, spiritual congregation, in whom Paul had every reason to have the confidence his words to them revealed.

Paul’s confidence in the Ephesians spiritual grounding had nothing to do with the world at large, and cannot be imputed thereto.
