it seems to me that it is not Scripture being bucked against, necessarily, so much as others' understanding of it, and the lack of tolerance of this. I think it can be really easy to say "No one makes it unless they obey the following instructions; __________________. Without, possibly, really fully understanding those instructions, but rather defending the interpretation that one (generally) was first given by some trusted senior. Doesn't mean they were wrong, and another right; but it may indicate that there are more than one way to interpret. I think there usually is. How many Names does Christ have? Are you sure? What if the word translated
name there is better translated
essence, to denote a spiritual acceptance? God is Love; would you condemn someone, some sheep who was told
‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world' because they were not baptized according to your standards? Is the question.
