The claim that every person will finally be saved through Christ, with or without repentance and faith, contradicts Scripture’s conditions of salvation and its final distinction between eternal life and everlasting punishment.
Mantras, mind-emptying, guided visualization, spirit guides, and altered-state or astral techniques remain occult when given Christian names; biblical meditation thoughtfully fills the mind with God’s word and prayer with understanding.
The claim that the Holy Ghost is the Gnostic goddess Sophia, or that personified Wisdom reveals a feminine deity within the Godhead, imports occult mythology into Scripture and contradicts the Spirit’s revealed identity and mission.
The claim that baptism regenerates, justifies, or makes an infant a Christian apart from personal repentance and faith reverses the apostolic pattern in which people hear the gospel, believe in Christ, and then receive baptism.
The claim that Jesus merely manifested a universal Christ principle and that people can awaken their own divinity contradicts Scripture’s revelation of Jesus as the unique eternal Son, Creator, and only Savior.
The claim that a past profession guarantees salvation regardless of later unbelief, rebellion, or apostasy contradicts Jesus and the apostles, who command believers to abide, endure, and take heed lest they fall.
The claim that the church will be secretly removed before the great tribulation contradicts Jesus, Paul, and Revelation, which place the gathering and first resurrection after the Antichrist, persecution, and tribulation.

The claim that post-death purification or temporal punishment remains for the justified, and can be reduced by indulgences or works of the living, conflicts with Christ’s once-for-all offering and Scripture’s order of death and judgment.
Prayer to Mary and departed saints, and reliance on their heavenly merits or mediation, goes beyond the apostolic pattern and compromises the unique, sufficient mediation and intercession of Jesus Christ.

Requiring Gentile Christians to keep Mosaic covenant ordinances for justification, salvation, or full covenant standing contradicts the Jerusalem council and the New Testament gospel of righteousness through faith in Christ.
