A general question for all TT'ers: With all of the haggling going on about correct doctrines, I'm wondering how important "correct doctrine" really is to getting into heaven when we die. For instance, will St. Peter be standing at the gate with a multiple-choice questionnaire and if we miss the right answer, say, on "Is the Holy Spirit a person or a force?", a buzzer goes off and the floor opens below us, and we fall into hell?
My point is, it seems to me that it is less important where we ARE on the continuum of right and wrong doctrine than it is in what DIRECTION we are going. Are we headed towards God, or away? Are we really seeking Truth, or not? I believe that ALL truth leads to Jesus Christ. What if we don't have all the "right" answers to doctrinal questions? Is that more important to God than how we treat our fellow human beings? Is it more important than whether we tolerate sin in our lives? I know that what we believe is VERY important, because it does determine whether or not we are "Saved". But what are the CRUCIAL DOCTRINES that we must believe to be saved? Somehow I don't think that whether or not we celebrate OT holy days are one of those crucial doctrines for salvation. Isn't it all about who Jesus really is? If you have that right, can other doctrinal "mistakes" keep you out of heaven?
