I would phrase it differently. I think you can find saved Christians who have been born again in almost every sect of Christianity. However, any sect that believes you need to do works in order to be saved is wrong.

I would agree with you to a point. I feel doctrine does matter. I have never placed such an emphasis on it as I have in the last three years. However, I feel there is so much error out there that it does become important to emphasize right teaching.

I suppose you could take just about any heretical group in the past and ask yourself if there were saved Christians in those groups? The answer may be "Yes, but not many."

Soooooooooo...some of that study of Orthodoxy paid off after all, eh! :)

I think your right. Scriptural doctrine will lead us into a closer, fuller relationship with our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, but it does not save us. A great example would be Calvinism. Through this spectrum we enter into a fuller understanding of our relationship with God and grow because of it.
