Schreiner can never have assurance

 Schreiner's view of justification being eschatological means that he cannot have assurance in this life. Because he conflate law and gospel, he either has to be perfect and thus become a legalist (which is what he doesn't seem to believe) or become an antinomian by which he makes the law doable and tries to pat himself on the back when he fails. Schreiner says on page 153 that justification in Paul is fundamentally eschatological.
