Nope I'm sorry you will fry for all eternity if you even go wrong on the most minor of doctrine



















Only kidding. Actually the bible makes it very clear that anyone can be saved. When Jesus came the Pharisees went out of their way to trip him up and to trap him and his message of grace. Dragging a woman caught in the very act of adultery for example, a crime that carried a certain death sentence and Jesus simply said ' Let him without sin cast the first stone'.

He also said it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be saved. The crowd in a state of shock then asked 'Who then can be saved?', Jesus replied 'With man these things are impossible but to God all things are possible'.

I take these statements to mean that there will be a LOT of people saved who Christians would have thought certainly wouldn't be and a lot of 'Christians' condemned who thought they were totally safe.

Man is obsessed with the letter of the law, but God has always been interested in the spirit of the law, so I don't think intellectually misunderstanding the exact correct doctrines will necessarily doom a person to eternal damnation.
