Luke 7:36-50 is probably another example of such 'goodness of intent' with Jesus surprising the Pharisee by allowing the fallen woman to wash his feet. (And even forgiving her sins).

“If Jesus were a prophet, he would know that the woman touching him is a sinner!”

Jesus knew. It just didn't bother him. - “Do you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. You gave me no kiss of greeting, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in.You did not put oil on my head, but she poured perfume on my feet. I tell you that her many sins are forgiven, so she showed great love."

Answer: Nothing mate, you go for it and ignore all the dogmatic preachers and those who insist on beliefs in trinities and the like for salvation. As Jesus was saying in the parable of the Good Samaritan, it is nothing to do with doctrine.

Except for Unitarian doctrines of course.

ie. "Doctrines are NOT important!! .... except mine, that is." Struts the Unitarian.

Let’s consider the account of Philip and the Eunuch in Acts 8:26-40.


Phillip must have encouraged him that now was the time for him to be baptized , giving his life over to Christ.

Interesting ... baptism mentioned as part of the foundation of the Christian Gospel (Hebrews 6:2).

Must have been some talk of Christian doctrine there.

Acts 8:26
" New American Standard Bible
As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?"

I know where you're coming from.
And I think I could come up with better examples.

The context of the time included that believers had been scattered from Jerusalem by persecution going around repeating what they had heard and seen from the twelve apostles. I don't think you would have liked it. You probably would have said that they were all plagiarizing or regurgitating stuff.

That included teaching about baptism upon believing in Christ the Son of God.
That was, you know, a doctrinal matter of sorts.

The Jerusalem believers who had been scattered had continued in the TEACHING and fellowship of the apostles (Acts 2:42)

Look, you want to say "Sonship you're too much into doctrine." Okay. I plead guilty ... some. Alright, alright. You won that argument this morning.
