Of course, I'm in a much different position than most people, because the Lord has given me many confirmations that I'm not wrong. Most people are still searching for God; I happen to already know Him. I'm not saying that to boast, I'm merely pointing out that someone in a position of faith can't exactly be compared to someone who is still searching in terms of certainty.
But yes, I have to acknowledge the fact that I could be wrong. Faith wouldn't be called faith if it were something observable or provable.
Bolded mine. You must realize how utterly unconvincing that is. Literally any Christian could genuinely think that they have received confirmations of their beliefs from God, and honestly believe it, and use that fact to support a belief contradictory to the beliefs of another Christian.
I wasn't attempting to convince anyone, I was merely stating my position, which is all the fellow asked me to do. And I wouldn't use my confirmations as proof in an argument. We're called to walk by faith and not by sight, so I argue on a Scriptural basis and with other appropriate materials as necessary.
