Let me rephrase:

Your argument that doctrine does not matter is pure evil.

See, that's an example of what goes wrong on the RF. I don't see that BB said that doctrine doesn't matter. And it's not pure evil (or of the devil) to think that. It's really rather realistic and his point is well made.

If our salvation depended on 100% correct doctrine, nobody would make it. NOBODY can claim to have 100% correct doctrine, because we are fallible, limited humans trying to understand the infinite mind of God with our puny human minds.

It ain't happening.

That said, there are those of us who don't believe that correct doctrine gets one into heaven.

Christianity is about a relationship with God, not getting our facts about Him correct.

I kind of doubt that many of the people, like the thief on the cross, had their doctrine down pat when they encountered Jesus and yet Jesus still told them they were saved (today you will be with me in paradise).

I never said doctrine does not matter. I can argue with you all day long about doctrine but what does that avail us? Read what metmom wrote. That is in the line of thinking I am talking about. How many denominations are you going to condemn because they don't conform to your interpretation? God knows what is inside of our hearts. Our salvation lies in the blood of Jesus Christ. His sacrifice makes our entry ticket into Heaven possible. That is foremost in doctrine. Agree or disagree?
