When the Gospel is so presented that the necessity for ongoing good works is stressed, it becomes a gospel that can no longer offer true assurance of eternal life.

Under some forms of theology, he cannot even be sure he has really believed. But this result is nothing less than a denial of a fundamental aspect of the Biblical Gospel.
