I guess I should clarify. Nobody has the whole kit-n-kaboodle on anything. If someone is "saved" they generally will act as such. I don't think what you believe regarding...pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib, what you eat or don't eat, where you live, your education, what day of the week you worship, what you call your Savior, whether He has three, four, seven or 42 different aspects or manifestations, etc. are salvation issues.
I'm also waiting for your answer as to what aspects of the Messianic Movement you feel may be dangerous are, David.

I think non-salvation issues do matter. What we believe influences our decisions and our embrace of some non-salvation teachings might be harmful to us and others. Remember the parable of the sower, even those who are saved might have be choked from being able to bear a lot of fruit. So I think what you should say is that non-salvation issues are not as important, but to say they are a "non-issue" is an overstatement. Kay wrote: > Same with prophecy...nobody really knows and > all are wrong in one way or another... I think this too is an overstatement. A lot of statistical noise does not mean that "nobody really knows." If you have one thousand people saying one thousand different things, that does not mean that they are all wrong. One of them might be right. One of them might really know. I have noticed time and time again that people make themselves feel good about not studying diligently by using statistical noise to claim that nobody knows. We really should recognize that this is a non sequitur and therefore it should not be used as an excuse to claim that the truth is unknown to everybody. Peace be with you.
