I believe that a belief in the Trinity and the PHYSICAL ressurection of Christ is also essential for salvation.

I believe that those beliefs are signs that the sinner has actually believed and has salvation, but any understanding of such complex doctrines as the trinity and an acknowledgement of the physical ressurection of Christ is clearly not necessary in order to be saved. If so then the thief on the cross was doomed.

Do you think that the 3000 souls that were saved on the day of pentacost had any idea of the trinity? Did they understand the principles of the physical resurrection of Christ? Or did they simply respond to the calling of the Holy Spirit in order to be saved?

Gee Mom, for a Calvinist it seems that you have added a lot of conditions for God's unconditional grace.

So you think that memebrs of the Armstrong church are saved?
