I was saved before being taught the fundamentals. In fact, I see it as a bait and switch.
I grew up with an alter call every Sunday. As a result, I heard, over and over again, ad nauseam, "
All you need is Jesus." Then I noticed that that wasn't true. Cuz after getting Jesus there's tons more "need" that it turns out is required. And where I grew up the five fundamentals were among them ; besides and adding to Jesus ; additional needs that mysteriously suddenly crop up, after getting "all you need" met by accepting Jesus.
Bro Ohio, you bring up that it's possible to believe all five fundamentals, and not be saved. How about the reverse?
So let me try saying this -- thanks to UntoHim (management talk) -- as a hypothetical, to make my point. :
1). The inspiration of the Bible by the Holy Spirit and the inerrancy of Scripture as a result of this.I don't believe this.
2). The virgin birth of Christ.I don't believe this.
3). The belief that Christ's death was an atonement for sin.I don't believe this.
4). The bodily resurrection of Christ.I don't believe this.
5). The historical reality of Christ's miracles.I don't believe this.
Can I still be saved?
Or am a really, really, in deep trouble, "un-funny-mental?"
