OK, using my “litmus test”, is Jesus going to say to you or me, at the GWTJ, “Sorry, you had that hell thing wrong. You are not saved.” My take is, no. So it falls under 2 Timothy 2.

The fact that souls of penitent faith in the Lord and Savior Jesus can be either ignorant or wrong about some doctrines (from predestination, to the perpetuity of Pentecostal gifts, to female pastors, etc.), and still be saved (if obeying light they have) simply does not relegate these teachings to be akin to issues of personal liberty, and does not place them in 2 Timothy 2:

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. (2 Timothy 2:14) But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. (2 Timothy 2:23)

And, if anything, the teaching on the afterlife is too clear and thus opponents of eternal punishment engage in laborious work in trying to disallow it.

I’m not talking about ignorance. I’m talking about disagreement.

You and I don’t disagree because I’m ignorant and I assume you are not either. However, I am having a bit of dejavu on this. I seem to remember someone here, a few years ago, basically making the argument that if I disagreed with them, it meant I was ignorant. That one is kinda funny because I adhere to the belief that the less someone knows about the bible, it’s content, and it’s historical and cultural context, the more sure they are that they are right in their beliefs and interpretations.
