Doctrine is essential in order to evangelize, as we are commanded to do.
That those who have some uncertainty (large or small) about doctrine can obtain the promises of Christ is a given as God’s mercy is boundless.
I have not even hinted that one cannot know God in some beneficial way unless one knows everything about God - yet that is what you have concluded.
None of this supports BB’s preposterous claim that (paraphrased)
“we should not worry what falsehoods (erroneous doctrine) or truths (true doctrine) about God are being preached, because we just have to know God”.
What drivel it is to undermine the utter necessity of solid bedrock Gospel truth.
That God can work with us regardless of how little we know about Him is a wonderful thing, but how evil it is to encourage people to take so lightly the obligation we have to know as best as we can (which demands we seek truthful doctrine - not just any old doctrine).
We are invited to run a race - and running a race requires real effort, not a shoulder shrugging “whatever”.
