When I am making a point I am clear that I am just making a point.
Quote: 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)
Where does the doctrine of UE say that? Faith is a necessary result of saving grace. You cannot exhibit genuine faith without the grace first being present. All that receive saving grace are saved. I have unshakable faith in Christ therefore I know I am saved. It’s pretty simple really, I can know I am saved but I have no way of knowing whether or not anyone else is for sure, besides the ones scripture tells me were.

How is saying that I was saved despite what I was and what I deserved in anyway narcissistic? If I stood here and told you I was saved because I was somehow better or smarter than you, that would be narcissism.
