No... I accept it. But if TULIP is right, it's irrelevant....
And faith (no matter how "genuine" or "sincere" or all the other adjectives Calvinists demand) trusts in something non-existent for them, then it's moot. You shared the insecurity you have, and that's logical... since you have no way to know if God loves YOU (He doesn't most people, TULIP insists - so likely not you) and since you have no way to know if Jesus died for YOU (He didn't for most people, TULIP insists - so likely not you)... no Sola Gratia, no Solus Christus.... then you have no way to know if your faith (no matter WHAT it says or feels or is) is actually grasping anything ... you may be grabbing onto pure emptiness (that's what is there for most people - NOTHING). Your faith may be genuine, real, sincere, strong.... with NOTHING to embrace.
My position: Sola Gratia - Solus Christus - Sola Fide. Jesus (not self) is (actually, fully) THE (one and only, all-sufficient) Savior (of the world, as the Bible teaches). Sola Gratia (universally), Solus Christus (universally).... THERE'S SOMETHING THERE: His grace, His mercy, His forgiveness. I don't have to guess if I'm one of the FEW for whom this is because it's there for all. Where faith is in Christ, that faith brings that Christ and all He did to to us (faith grasping what is THERE for all). I KNOW I'm loved because God loves everyone (thus me, too)... I KNOW Christ's died for me because He died for all (thus me, too)... I KNOW Jesus is the SAVIOR (not just helper) of me because He is the Savior of everyone (thus me, too).
