I teach "other steps" but that's I don't redefine grace and say those things will save you. They are taught as ordinances of the Church, and as a byproduct of a life lived out in grace.
I have sincerely questioned lately, since I was a step-preacher at one point (pun intended), how God will judge those. Paul was quite vocal. The NT was quite vicious toward false teachers. So... what is our response?

You tell me; what is your response? Are heretics going to be saved?
