I'm not even going to bother this this rhetorical post.

Your salvation is NOT defined by your ability to pass a theology test. I don't know how many times I have to say that, and yet you seem to keep asking "but what questions are on the test so I can know whom flunked and whom passed?" Honestly, I am finding it to be frustrating.

See my previous statement on how good theology helps nurture faith.

I'm not a universalist: there are MANY whom reject the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not have faith in Him. And are hence without His salvation. Rather they love their own selves-- their egos, their riches, their sins, etc. Good theology helps foster faith and discipleship in Christ. But it...

It is an irony: if I were to adopt either of your positions that salvation-depends-on-your-theology-test-score, then I would then have to say that: "@Christophany you're a damned non-Christian because you misunderstand scripture and flunk that test" and "@DNB you're a damned non-Christian...

Could you please address mine? Does your mistaken facts about Jason somehow mean that you somehow don't have any relationship with Jason at all? Or that some fake doppelganger Jason was grilling you all those hamburgers all of those years?

Your example is entirely predicated on a false email. My is about a relationship. Please actually address it rather than avoiding it because that would mean you're not addressing my concerns with your foundational point.

Im not downplaying the importance of theology. I actually am quite passionate about the importance of theology and diligent study. I am dismissing the idea that your salvation is based on your ability to correctly answer a theology test.

Your entire example here is built upon a email, not a relationship. Here's an example about a relationship: Jason is in your fantasy football league. He's a great guy, and you hang out every week talking about the game speculating the best pick for next week. He taught you how to better...

You confuse knowing with the heart vs head knowledge. Head knowledge doesn’t save anybody.

Many turn away from Christ for many reasons. I, for one, adamantly object to the idea that a person salvation depends on their ability be able to pass your (or anyone else’s) theology test. No. Salvation is a matter or FAITH and relationship with God. No academic knowledge - don’t try to...

God asks us to love our fellow man, that includes those that disagree with us, or even despitefully use us.

Speaking as a non-trinitarian: let's still show respect to others.

Very well said! We're a bunch of diverse views here, including many whom don't fit the definition of Traditional Creedal Christian. That includes myself! I look forward to more discussions with you.

Haha!

Glad to hear! Hey, I see your faith lists "Other faith". Would you mind if I ask which specifically just because I'm an interfaith nerd and love meeting new people? If you'd rather not, that's totally cool too.

Then let's stop with the "anti-cult" stuff, ok?

I'm sorry, but this approach almost always comes down to two people shouting at each other "you're not saved because you don't understand this verse" and trying to beat each other up by slamming different verses (or even the same verses) at each other. Call me crazy, but I'd rather just spend...

Not really. A) it's a No True Scotsman argument. B) there are plenty of theological disagreements that don't relate to this subject. C) Dismissing somebody's entire relationship with Christ because they have a different interpretation of scriptures is ... honestly I find it to be ridiculous. D)...

Howdy!!
