I agree. Chuck Swindoll's version of Easy Believerism is far from basic Christian teaching.

Well, I don't quite understand what your problem is with Swindoll. I followed your link and found the list of essential beliefs. It lists the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus.

As the second person of the Trinity, the Son reveals the Father. According to the Father’s plan, the eternal Son humbled Himself and became incarnate, inseparably uniting undiminished deity with true humanity. As fully God and fully man, Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, died to pay in full the penalty for our sin, rose bodily and miraculously from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will come again in glory. See John 1:1–3, 14; Philippians 2:5-8; Hebrews 1:1–3; and 1 John 5:11–12.

But they are not essential to salvation according to the site.
Simply through believing the good news that Christ died for his or her sins and then rose from the dead, a person can be forgiven of all sin, declared righteous by God, reborn into new life, and guaranteed eternal life with God.
