You said pretty good he was saved. The text says he is. There is a difference.

The text says he is.

Not really.

It merely states that he was there. No mention of his salvation at all.

Can we assume it?

Obviously we have; but not from the text.


Matthew 17:1-8
 

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

The poster is not that discerning. Having no grounding in the fundamentals, the poster is easily deceived and has grown to prefer it that way.
