"will" used twice in one sentence
(1) Tom, who will complete his accounting program next year, will work abroad after graduation.
Some of my non-native English speaking friends think using "will" twice in one sentence is wrong. They gave me the example below to support their answer.
(2a) Tomorrow, I will sure that I will come back before you go shopping. (WRONG)
(2b) (They revised their own sentence to this one.) Tomorrow, I will sure that I come back before you go shopping.
I am very confused here. If (2a) is wrong, (1) is also wrong. What is your opinion? Thank you very much for your help.
