That is a red flag to me. All the passages I quoted that show the FIRST work that God MUST do to anyone is the cross, and you poo-poo it to a second rate deal. The applied work of the cross is greater than anything, even the fruit we must bear. It is blasphemy to say the work of Christ's death on the cross is second and not first.
But I suppose if you think others who deny his very crucifixion can carry a cross for God to save them, then what else would the cross be than a second rate deal:
