Here are the key questions:

1. What happens to those who don't agree with one or more of the "five points?" Answer: Nothing.

2. What happens to those who agree with it in full? Answer: Nothing. (Indeed, TULIP theology would seem to demand that the answer is "nothing.")

It seems pretty obvious belief or non-belief in "five point Calvinism" is irrelevant to salvation.

I agree, but there are many doctrines that are irrelevant to salvation. Thank God that we do not need be theologians to to be saved.

The key question is:

does a correct Biblical understanding of God and the Salvation he offers us honor Him or not?

What happens to us is not at issue.

It’s not about us, it’s about Him.

with warm regards.

Correct doctrine is not necessary for salvation, but it is the desire of the redeemed heart to know God as intimately as possible, and that is only possible through correct doctrine.

Who is God, how does He act , what is He like , can he be trusted...

Those are the questions doctrine answers
