Evangelical dict. of theology, c1984: art. Perseverance, e.g. on Augustine, pp. 844-845 ("The decree of the unchanging divine will ... [is] irresistible; the assurance of persevering in grace ... absolute and infallible. The elect, being born of the Spirit, can never finally fall from grace. Eternal security is freely given by God and is not due to human watchfulness, striving, or endurance." Note also see ref from Security of the Believer to Perseverance)
