    " Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
    57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
    58 Jesus said unto them
    , Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." ( John 8:58 ).

    " And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." ( Exodus 3:14 ).

    Almost the same that @AustinC said.;)

    Not in Mark 1:15 that you asked me to comment on.

    (However, just for the record, I agree that faith produces repentance yields salvation.)

    I can prove any particular translation is not divinely inspired, but to what end?

    It seems that you are intentionally missing the point.

    Son 6:8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
    Son 6:9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

    Joh_3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

    No, I already said that you can know from the scriptures, if you read up, and you know I call you brother.
    I'm saying that you can't be deriving your assurance from the system. The Calvinist system doesn't allow it.
    If you have assurance, it's because you're bucking the Calvinist system.

    I disagree with your assertion that there is a "system." If there is one, it is merely to observe what God says and thus declare it as so.
    Where we disagree is likely in what passage helps interpret another passage.

    Often my disagreement with another brother lies in the view that my brother ignores context in his prooftext, which leads to incorrect discernment of scripture.

    You've literally affirmed what George said about lordship salvation.

    this reminds me of when I speak to Jehovah witnesses and they just want to refer you to their magazines / literature and website.

    Yet no verse says 'chosen to be saved / converted.
