Confidence does not make you correct on this issue or any other.
The promises of Jesus is not the issue, it is your unsubstantiated faith in your confidence that is in question.
"Where false assurance exist true assurance cannot."
You may personally assert that you are saved (which is fine) but you cannot demonstrate in anyway that this is true.
None of us can.

Please give the post #s. In #128 I find Lamar saying: "I suspect those in Matthew 7:21-23 also "knew" that they had eternal life.
John knew his audience, he also knew that many who would hear these words would not have eternal life.
May know is a far cry from knowing. So what is your point?"
And in #137 I see: "A fair question. For the sake of expedience than principle. I will bow my unworthy head and beg the blood of Jesus on the day of Judgement. Like we all should."
And then in #164 you say: "A couple of posts that Lamar made seem to say that one cannot be assured of their salvation. I am confident in the promises made by Jesus."
It seems to me you are splitting hairs, because having confidence or assurance is NOT knowing with absolute certainty or walking by sight/proof (2CR 5:7, 1CR 13:12).
(Peace, out :^)
