Cam,
You have not explained why you think my understanding of Paul in 2CR 5:6-8, PHP 1:6&14, CL 4:12 & RM 1:16-17 is incorrect, so please choose to do so.
1JN uses the terms "know" and "have confidence" interchangeably, as in 1JN 4:13&17.
Paul says we are sealed in EPH 1:13 and warns against apostasy/believing in vain in 1CR 15:2 because of failing to persevere.
Your closing question indicates that you also ignored me saying "Assured/confident, yes! (Per 2CR 5:6-8, PHP 1:6&14, CL 4:12),
but that is not knowing infallibly; we walk by faith, not by sight/proof/absolute certainty--from first to last (2CR 5:7, RM 1:16-17)."

So your use of "know" as having confidence only partially expresses the thought. That aspect is present, but it is much more than confidence; it is certainty.
