What about 1 John 5:13

I'm not really a Baptist. I believe that salvation is not a guarantee and requires a life of faith and dedication to the lord to ensure salvation - commune with the holy spirit, if you will.

Okamakama
Naturally it has merit, but there are contradicting verses as well.

"The general rule is that you don't do college algebra before you learn calculus. And nobody makes a book without first learning how to read and write.
In the same way, you can't interpret a clear passage in the light of an unclear passage"
- Peter Ruckman
So I think 1 John 5:13 should be taken as is and the other "contradictory" and unclear verses studied
But why aren't you baptist though?
