Context and situation awareness is key. I can tell another Christian in a church that God loves him/her, even if that person turns out to be a false convert later on. This does not contradict my thesis, because when I said “God loves you and died for you” it was to another “Christian” and not unbeliever, even if in truth that person isn’t really converted. God has a sovereign love for His people, and I accurately represented that truth when I said that to another “Christian.” If I said that to an unbeliever, someone who isn’t a Christian, I would be misrepresenting God.
