But we can all too often discern those who are presently not saved based on their overt actions or the clear theological stances they actually profess.

Someone high handedly living in sin, while claiming to be saved, and also working to arrogate God’s Word is certainly just such an instance. Arguably the clearest example of such. Working to arrogate Scripture alone should qualify.

Yes, there is certainly a desire to see all be saved; but, that does not empower any hypothetical arguments to that effect.

As for 'empowering"

All true.
And, yet people can repent over and over again, can't they? They can repent on their deathbed. We wouldn't know that nor would we know of any true contrition in their heart. THAT is God's bailiwick.

I'm not arrogating to empower any arguments, hypothetical or not. I am JUST DISCUSSING. No lacuna in my logic at all.

You used "handedly" incorrectly. It's used with adverbs, not alone AS an adverb. Unless, perhaps, you took the "new" English classes offered in public schools these days.

-handedly, combining form in adverbs corresponding to adjectives ending in -handed (such as heavy-handedly corresponding to heavy-handed ).
