Denies the Vicarious Atonement
Denies the Trinity
Denies the deity of the Holy Spirit
Teaches that All religions lead to God
Denies existence of Satan
Swedenborg stated that the Acts and Epistles were not inspired as are the four Gospels and the Book of Revelation
Denies a physical resurrection

Start there. All heresies condemned by the Church.

Ah yes, the list. Addressed over and over in discussions for years. Now, you say it's 'heresies condemned by the Church' ... what happened to 'cultic [sic] nature'? Do you know the difference or are you just throwing derogatory language out there to start something? And which 'the Church' are you referring to? You don't mention your Church affiliation on your profile page. You'll need to provide a link to some leader 'condemning' my faith.

On vicarious atonement:
I believe Luke 24:47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
I don't believe in taking from Christ' merit for my own. I'm responsible for self-examination and repentance and asking the Lord's help to break the habit. I believe that we inherit evil from our parents and ancestors plus what we take on ourselves. To think God holding a grudge against the human race because of Adam and Eve that could only be satisfied by sacrificing His son is silly. If Jesus' blood washed away all sin, why is there so much sin in the world?

On the Trinity:
I believe in the Trinity of person within the ONE Lord God Jesus Christ, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Deity of Holy Spirit:
False - the Holy Spirit (breath) is not a separate person but that which Proceeds from the Lord... His action.... Love and Wisdom.

All religions lead to the Lord:
The death of the material body does not mean the end to learning about the Lord or His true nature. Christianity is still punishable by death in some cultures... would a just God condemn these folks?

Acts and Epistles:
This was discussed on the last thread. These Bible Studies include these books.

Physical Resurrection:
Jesus Christ is the only one capable of that. After death of the body, our substantial spirit awakes in the world of spirits.
