@pb1022 saidDeciding who it is that rejects Christ or who have their sins forgiven is for Jesus Christ to do.
So people who reject Jesus Christ and don’t have their sins forgiven enter the Kingdom of God?
You seem to be making that decision for Jesus.

@rajk999 saidThe Holy Bible is clear on how sins are forgiven - and it’s not by brushing snow off your neighbor’s car once a winter as you seem to think.

@pb1022 saidJust a little extra thought, and any normal person will figure out that there is a whole lot missing from those cherry-picked passages. There are 4000 yrs of people from Adam to Christ, many billions, and billions more from Christ to now who never heard of Christ. Are you saying that none of them as saved and all will be tormented in hell for eternity. Your infantile church doctrine is flawed. Pauls doctrine was to specific churches where he travelled. Paul cannot speak for all the people that ever lived. Thats the job of God and Christ, not you and your church.
People decide for themselves whether they are saved.
Read Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9, John 6:40, etc.

@sonship saidWhy don’t you tell me which of the teaching/doctrines in my OP you think ARE essential for salvation?
@divegeester
Salvation is free and for everyone. It refers to not being extinct after death. This phenomena from the eternal dimension can be experienced in the temporal plane through faith in the finished work of Christ at Calvary. In terms of “salvation” everything else is, relatively speaking, theological scenery.

Jeez divegeester, that's not even what I said.
Listen! A priori, God's Word is the final authority.
That's what I've been trying to tell you for heaven's sake!
Why can't you see that?!
To hell with my opinions and interpretations. It's about what the scriptures say. They are the final authority.
Now, are you going to understand what I mean or not?

@josephw saidOk under stood.
@josephw
To whom it may concern: do not link my words and what I say with whatever anyone else says. I stand alone with the Word of God within the context of this particular discussion with whom it is I'm conversing with.
I'm not part of anybody's clique. Except Jesus'.
But why don’t you directly address the challenge in the OP and tell us, from your you own “stand alone with the word of God” … which doctrines you DO feel are essential to believe in for salvation?

Not by what you say.
Your false doctrine has been exposed numerous times. The fact you continue spewing it shows your false doctrine is more important to you than the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ.
