There is no salvation in doctrine. Only God can save.

I agree.
So these questions below are not meant to be answered, but just to provoke thought about the answers.
I agree with your first statement. It is God who saves.
But what happens if someone rejects the God who saves or His method of salvation (saving?).
Would they reject the religious scripture that tells about God and how He saves?
What happens if YOUR doctrine is the false doctrine regarding Universalism? Will it be your way or the highway?
BIG QUESTION:
Why is it so important to you or me or anyone else that everyone must understand scripture my way or your way or anyone else's way?
I'll tell you what makes any doctrine false: It's the doctrine that is
not cemented in what Jesus and His apostles believed and said, because what Jesus believed and said is what God
knows, and what His apostles believed and said is what Jesus first taught them, and then appointed then to establish in His churches.
So what happens if YOUR way of interpreting parts of what Jesus and His apostles believed and taught is the one that's not the same as what they meant? Would it be your way or the highway?
Why is it so important to you or me or anyone else that everyone must understand scripture your way or my way or anyone else's way?
Why is it so important to us that many
don't understand it our way?
Evidence that humans are fallible
and each one believes he isn't, is contained in every thread in these boards in this forum. So I don't stand out as an exception, neither do you. The only human who ever stood out, and stands out as an exception, is Jesus.
