These things really hit me today as I read this today:
1) The cross of Christ alone can save.
2) If we add one thing at all to the saving power of the cross, we can add anything. When does it stop?
3) Among all the debates as to how many steps there are to salvation, we seem to miss the fact that the only step that matters is the step taken by Christ on the cross.
4) There clearly is a cost to pay if one teaches that the cross of Christ alone can save.

This thread won't go away. I wasn't going to read it b/c I was way to far behind to catch up, but I'm curious what could be said for 120 pages. It will take me a few days to go through it.
But I will start with this questiong for NOW. If the cross of Christ ALONE can/does save, are you not implying the very same argument used by universalists to defend their teaching?
