By maintain ones salvation I'm speaking of the doctrine that you can lose your salvation. When you believe you can lose your salvation it completely redefines what salvation is and what you need to be concerned with here on Earth.

By maintain ones salvation I'm speaking of the doctrine that you can lose your salvation.

I understand that. I'm not sure, however, that churches preaching "free will" or that one can "lose" their salvation (a misnomer) are causing people to be selfish simply because they preach that. As I said earlier, Paul wrote many exhortations to the churches that should cause the believer to study and deepen their walk with Christ. I don't see that as self-centeredness.

I will agree that any church preaching a self-help gospel (i.e. feeling better about yourself), or the damnable prosperity gospel ("God wants me to be rich, well, and prosperous"), causes great harm in the church.
