"But you were trying to say people cannot be said to be lost just because they reject the cross. THAT is what you were saying to me with the Islam issue."
no, it is not--that is just what you are reading.
"Do you still maintain that? You're bold to speak of those whom YOU think are lost with the LOVE litmus test, but what about the CROSS litmus test?"
Pick up your cross, and follow. Christ rose. The OP doctrine fixates on the cross, and removes salvation. Laying again the foundation, because that is all you have.
Acts 2:38 produces hearers of the Word--not a bad thing! But the cross must become one's example, to be emulated--or they will, of necessity, just brush away huge swaths of Scripture; why not reply to 2Peter1?
"Who ever said it was like that? lol"
i did. I do. This is what religion produces; "let's make a deal." It stresses what should be assumed, and assumes what should be stressed. Would you rather be in heaven with a Good Samaritan, or a typical religious pastor? There you go!
