Salvation

Catholic Church

"If anyone says that a man who is born again and justified is bound ex fide to believe that he is certainly in the number of the predestined, let him be anathema." Reference 26

"No one, moreover, so long as he lives this mortal life, ought in regard to the sacred mystery of divine predestination, so far presume as to state with absolute certainty that he is among the number of the predestined, as if it were true that the other justified either cannot sin anymore, or, if he does sin, that he ought to promise himself an assured repentance. For except by special revelation, it cannot be known whom god has chosen to Himself." Reference 27

Scriptures

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that ye may know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. ~I John 5:11-13

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. ~Romans 8:29-30

Verily, verily I say unto thee, he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me hat everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. ~John 5:24

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. ~I Peter 1:3-5

Comments

I hereby state with absolute certainty that I am among the number of the predestined. For by special revelation of the scriptures, it is known whom God has chosen to Himself.
