we have blessed assurance and peace while we are still here on earth that we can rest entirely in Christ with no fear.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

The programming kicked in. Read the whole letter and then try to twist that verse to imply an uncertain salvation. Rinse and repeat with every other book and letter of Scripture, tossing the CCC behind you as you happily skip to freedom.

I have no illusions that you—or hardly anyone else—will do this. Man loves religious bondage.
