Instructor Feedback on First Draft

As a first draft, this contribution falls short. (This would not pass if submitted for the final draft.) You do have some promising separate contributions. The intro is particularly effective. The individual parts are not bad; it's just it is not fitted into a whole yet.

Things to work on:

1. For each contribution & separate part of your paper, develop your points, incorporate more dialog partners in each discussion, & then tie the separate parts into a coherent paper

2. Look up more of the biblical evidence on the issue of how you can be sure you are saved

3. Look up technical commentaries on the biblical evidence: e.g., commentaries from the NIV Application Commentary Series, the Word Biblical Commentary Series, the New International Commentary on the New Testament Series, &/or the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament Series.
