I understand your point. His view of Jesus was deformed by their teachings. I'm aware of how the Independent Fundamentals work in their theology. Some will go as far as to say one can get saved and commit murder and kill themselves, without repenting, and go to heaven because they are saved. Jesus saved them and therefore they cannot lose their salvation.
This kind of teaching creates a "false" idea of Jesus, even if the real Jesus was preached also. To me it takes away from the justice of God and makes salvation a "get out of Hell" free card, versus a new birth and change.
