Before we go any further, is this something you subscribe to or are you just "making a point"?
Thusfar your definition of "fallacy" appears to be calling you on your bullshit. So, Stat, how do you know you're saved? Is it your faith? Your virtue? Your merit? Your acts? Explain exactly how the doctrine of unconditional election (which explicitly states that none of these things are relevant to god's supposed grace) allows you to make such a bold claim? I think you're bucking against an unbelievably pessimistic and ridiculous concept of grace, and the thought that you are somehow saved allows you to avoid the uncomfortable business of confronting the implications of your own faith. But hey, opinions and assholes. What's yours?
