It's not about moral relativism, it's not about being lazy and doing the minimum - what a joke those accusations are. We don't earn salvation, thus there's no "minimum" as you derisively claim.
It's about recognizing the important issues and not getting tangled up in things which aren't. I'm not going to get all huffy and puffy and bitter with anyone over when I believe the end will happen. I believe it will happen. That's what matters. Judgment will come. Christ will return. It will happen. That's the part which matters.
A heretic would be the one who claims it won't happen.
Arguing over the when does not matter.
Your claim of people being heretics over pre, mid beliefs is as dumb as those who preach a man will split hell open and are damned for wearing a short-sleeved or colored shirt.

Nobody is getting "bitter". But I have already proven the case with Scripture, whereas you have simply given your personal opinion.
To the readers: There is no Scripture which declares "Oneness and
Acts 2:38 are the only "essential" doctrines, all else is optional."
