I appreciate all the posts on doctrine and theology, but seriously, if salvation depended on knowing all that, then I'm going to hell. I'm going to trust Jesus. I can see why people would be turned off Christianity. My point is that God's Word saves and heals people, but endless theology turns people away. The church nowadays is in such a mess. The masses of the world are going to hell while Christians debate over points of doctrine and theology. All you need to do is trust John 16:13 and you never need to worry about NOT KNOWING all truth.

If only you stopped worry about knowing a mountain of 'correct theology' and trusting in God's Word, then it comes easy as the Holy Spirit will 'ENLIGHTEN' you and teach you as you read the Word. I know men of faith who can talk to a sinner and have them in tears of conviction by the Holy Ghost in minutes. WHY? Because they are filled with the Spirit of God and as they are talking to someone, God leads them to say EXACTLY the right thing and right scripture to bring them to repentance. You can’t see their heart, but God can, so let the Holy Spirit work through you when witnessing to others and you’ll see God do miracles in men’s hearts.

Actually, Theology(KJ Bible) is the ONLY thing that seperates the world and the children of God in whom dwells the Holy Ghost. ----- If ya dont know- babies, mentally handicapped- you are not accountable. so....apparently accountability is infact a- cognitive issue. aka- theology. ----- Galations 1:6-9 deals with any other "Jesus". James 5:19-20 deals with the believer.
So theology is vital. You have some good points, however since the theology- of the Word is absolute, I BELIEVE only 8 people in the flood were saved.
That indicates that the world knows about God, but will NOT ENTER HEAVEN. Big issue here.
So...a correct theology is vital overall, and yes- God winks at times of our ignorance until TRUTH is made available. Which He does that amen!
God bless in truth- VERITAS77 =)
