The real answer is this. When asked what is needed to be saved the answer was: “believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved-and your house.” The rest of what we debate about does not change that simple gospel of Jesus which is after all “bottom line”. We all need to keep that in our minds at all times. All this other stuff is our feeble attempt to understand. It doesn’t affect our salvation if we but profess our belief that Jesus paid the total and complete price for our salvation and eternity with Him.
Good and interesting reply. You share with us Catholics a notion of the hierarchy of truths, is that fair to say?
