    I did ask him that on the streets and he said he did not know. It was recently where he questioned the blood atonement of Christ.

    I am trying to reason with him and I have some extra books I can give him AND I already have given him many scriptures defending the blood atonement.

    What, exactly, is his position on the blood atonement?

    I was wondering the same. Adding to the gospel message the requirement to interpret and understand all aspects of Scripture in a way that agrees with our understanding is heresy. (Tim Keller rejects a "literal" view of Genesis... John MacArthur rejects a "literal" view of 1 John...but we don't go around calling them false converts). But the Atonement is essential to the gospel message. What is his position on the atonement?

    THAT is all we need to know; you don't need to defend your statements any further than what you just wrote. THAT is where all the other problems (biblical inerrancy, etc.) derive.

    I, too, would be questioning his salvation with an answer like that.

    Not a requirement to be saved, but should still reaffirm what Jesus and Apostles taught concerning the scriptures!

    saved persons do believe, wrongly, in it only being partially inspired, but the question on dock here with your friend is his views on jesus and what the Cross meant and did!

    No that's neo-evangelicalism.

    I agree that is what it is, or else a type of barthism, but still means that they would be saved by the Cross if they believed about that the right way!
