1. a. We affirm that those whom God has effectually called can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved (C 17.1).
1. b. We deny that anyone who truly comes to Christ falls away (C 10.4).
1. c. We deny that there is any temporary participation in the benefits of justification, adoption, and sanctification.
Correct, but see the discussion of tautology, definition, and the way words are used outside of the limits of specialized theological terms (i.e. adoption and sanctification in Romans 9.4; 1 Cor 7.14).
