Rather, the Scripture preaches as regards knowing one presently is saved, and has eternal life,
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31)
for
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24)
And in the light of salvific truths and "things which accompany salvation," (Heb. 6:9) it states,
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.(1 John 5:13)
Yet despite Scripture teaching that one is able to know he is presently saved (while exhorting on to keep the faith and warning of departing from the living God in unbelief: Heb. 3), the Catholic Church insists that no one, whilst still in this life, can actually be termed "saved," (while allowing one to know by special revelation whom God has predestined one to be saved).
Yet, while she rejects any conservative evangelicals as being presently saved (unless Rome has changed), she treats even impenitent public sinners as members in life and in death, and fosters confidence that personal merit and the merits of Rome are able to gain such final entrance into Heaven.
The Salvation Army today is largely neither, and is to be rejected as a true church (vs. mission) because it rejects baptism and the Lord's supper, like as the church of Rome is to be rejected as a true church in the light of its unScriptural assertion of perpetual assured infallibility, and other traditions of men, but in its day the SA was far more of a manifestation of the Spirit of God working to save and sanctify souls than institutionalized Rome was or is.
The whole article is based on assertions about Rome that are only that.
