John 3:36 - Bible GatewayAre you still saved if you believe in the wrong things about Jesus?
For example, let's say you believe in 99% of the things you're "supposed to" about Jesus. But that 1% are errors, e.g. wrong ideas about his death/sacrifice; wrong ideas about his mission; wrong ideas about the responsibilities of the disciple; or, even wrong ideas about his name & its pronunciation, or any other detail about him.
If yes, you believe you're still saved, then at what percentage are you unsaved? 98% true beliefs? 75%? 49%? 1%?
Some know experientially. Some don't. Some "know" but are wrong. Some don't "know" but are right ...... people are so fickle .........Would you agree that those who seek salvation cannot know that they are truly saved, then?

What does it mean to "trust in the Son"? Does that include holding unusual beliefs about him?John 3:36 - Bible Gateway

Whoever trusts in the Son has eternal life.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They are all saved according to Yahweh's Word.
(everyone (100%) who trusts in the Son (Jesus) ) .

OK ... for you, it sounds like it boils down to mere trust ... in something ...If you can find a 3 year old son with his father in the park , or store, or at home,
in a decent or good relationship,
Jesus said we must be trusting like the 3 year old son trusts his father.
Very simple. Nothing at all complicated.

I think in this case, many Catholics might suggest that you have rejected the 1% found in their scriptures that teaches Mary is co-redemptrix.
Yes, but even in the "who?" there is a "how much of what to believe about the 'who'?"Trust Jesus, and trusting Jesus is as trusting the Father in heaven.
Trust one, you trust the other, and likewise trust His Word - otherwise there is no trust.
Trust HIM, not some thing, or something.
Trust HIM personally.
Otherwise, don't.
It is found in their Scripture, as I understand it.Ooops..... that's only in other religions and tradition adopted,
never found in Scripture.
zero percent.
Yes, but even in the "who?" there is a "how much of what to believe about the 'who'?"
600,000+ words (in the common Bible alone) seems pretty complicated to me.Why complicate things ?
Yahweh made everything simple , like for little children He loves and freely gives life to.
Men complicated everything - really really messed up. Not in a good way either.

In essence, it seems to me that you are stating that as long as we know we need something greater than us, then that is well, since he knows - no matter the name we use.
I also know of children and adults who have been traumatized with subsequent emotional and mental illnesses after reading about armageddon, etc.Why ?
Little children have found it simple, refreshing, enlightening, joyous, life-giving, leading to Christ and to God and to eternal life and to many many many overflowing blessings.... (with much persecution)
Scholars spend more time arguing how tall a candle should be, instead of lifting a finger to save someone's life or help a little child have food.
Is someone saved if they believe in 1-3 but deny 4?No, I'm not saying all that. There was more to Job than that.
And there is more to that verse than that.
Within just that verse there are three points beyond what you've stated:
1. I acknowledge that God exists.
2. I acknowledge that I am not in God's favor.
3. I acknowledge that I cannot get into God's favor on my own.
4. I acknowledge that I need a mediator between me and God who is able to "lay hands upon us both."
So someone lied to them - there are more bad guys out there than good guys (you should know already, right?) .I also know of children and adults who have been traumatized with subsequent emotional and mental illnesses after reading about armageddon, etc.
