I understand how a believer can have an assurance of salvation, but I don't understand how a believer can have an infallible assurance of salvation if it is possible for people to fall away. It could be stated categorically that a person who does fall away, therefore, must lack infallible assurance, but then it does not make sense how a person could distinguish between "assurance" and "infallible assurance" if both are achieved by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit.
What is biblical? How do we understand it in light of the experience of knowing people who fall away, even if they seemed solid at one point?
