He didn't say anything about the cause of the belief.

Which is a repetition of the initial assertion.

Peter's confession is hotly debated (between Protestant and RC, for
example); and the JWs don't read Thomas' confession the way we do.
Their reading is contrary to the Greek -- but that doesn't change the
fact that they see it differently.

So why aren't you RC? Are you not saved?

I distance myself from a position that salvation is obtained through
the reciting of a prayer. I don't see precedence in the book of Acts
for such a practice.

Assurance of salvation is important. It is not the same as salvation.
In other words, sometimes believers need assurnace. Hence John wrote,
"These things write I unto you that believe that you may know that you
have eternal life."

My assurance has nothing to do with how I live my life. I do not live
my life according to His word....I fall short of that daily, hourly,
etc. My assurance comes from the application of John 3:18, in which it
is taught that there are two groups of people with two destinies. One
is destined to heaven and one is destined to condemnation. The sole
differientiator is belief. I believe, which puts me in the group that
believes.

My ancestors swung by their necks, not their tails.
