Bible Note: Joseph, One could agree with the initial points made by Pink and still not be infallibly certain of of one's own salvation, which is his final conclusion. The passage of John 10:27-29 asserts that the elect are eternally secure and it asserts that Jesus knows who the elect are. It does not assert that the elect know with absolute certainty who they are. For there may be many who think they are of the flock of Christ and are follwing Him, but are not. The elect are assured of salvation. The dispute is really whether anyone other than God can know infallibly before the judgement which comes after after death if they are among the elect or not. What need have we of faith and hope if we have infallilbe certitude of our election? There seem to be many with absolute assurance of their own salvation who doubt another absolute assurance of their salvation. If we can be absolutely sure of our own salvation, why can we not be absolutely sure of someone else who asserts their own absolute assurance on the same grounds as we might assert ourt own? The question is not whether we can have absolute trust God, but whether we can trust in ourselves and others to know the mind of God infalliby regarding our own election. Emmaus |
