What Doctrine could keep us from Heaven?

On another thread it was asked about doctrine : (post # 19)

I said this:
Charlie -
As I look at my answer - it might appear I disagree with you .
Quite the opposite - I do agree with you.
Looks like I was playing "Devils advocate"

So what doctrines would actually keep us from true salvation.
how about if a person did not believe in Lake of Fire or the Devil?
A person believes baptism is necessary to complete salvation
A person believes you are not truly saved until you speak in tongues?

Doctrines that deny the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I will say that sometimes it may not be actual doctrines that keep us from being saved but how these doctrines are held.

We are commanded not to lean on our own understanding but on every word that comes forth from God.
We are warned that philosophies can carry us away.

Doctrine itself does not save. When we trust in our own understanding then we are trusting in ourselves (men may have told us that the Bible really teaches this or that, but these men are a dime a dozen and people are the ones who pick which ones to believe). It is literally not repenting from the flesh.

So many doctrines that may be wrong but not indicate a person is lost may also indicate the person is lost by how they are held. We see dimly as through a glass, sp we all lack perfect understanding.

The only "doctrine" that can keep a person from heaven is not actually a doctrine. It is unbelief. Unbelief manifests itself in heresies like Arianism and Gnosticism. When you hear of notable preachers abandoning orthodoxy for falsehood it is not those false teachings that are leading them astray. It is an unbelieving heart.

Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

I would say doctrines that deny the PERSON of Jesus Christ. (That which places faith in a man-made version of Christ that substitutes a “Jesus shaped idol” for the real thing).

It's all the ones we add to faith in Christ as mandatory for salvation. Whatever that may be.

Rom. 11:6

"And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work."

Anything and everything we add to faith for salvation is works.

I agree.

I am not sure how @Salty means the OP to go. I have said before, for example, that there is a difference between not believing Jesus and the Father are One but different in persons and denying that truth.
