Resolution #2

"The Lord Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). This divine act of atonement is dependent on the blood of the Lamb of God and is the foundation that makes salvation possible. For “without the shedding of blood is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7). “Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” (Revelation 1:5). Salvation is by grace through faith based on the atonement provided in Jesus Christ by His death, burial, and resurrection (Acts 2:38; 20:28)."

Does this mean that there is more necessary than the blood of Christ?

Does anyone else find it amusing that an organization is still trying to define or clarify their stand on salvational doctrine? I am asuming this resolution was for real since I didn't observe any of the conference.

I don't find it a bit amusing because thousands or millions of people seem to be confused about that.

Amusing was maybe a poor choice of word. I share your concern and agree on the confusion.
