I think this is a repetition of some of the early church errors. In particular, certain groups divided God into the manifestation as the Father, then as the Son, and then as the Spirit, each mode of God's existence implying a different kind of salvation. In theology proper, this is called modalism (vs. Trinitarianism). In ethics, it is called anti-nomianism. In soteriology, it is called dispensationalism.
To be sure, one may be a dispensationalist and still a Trinitarian. But, IMO, only by "blessed inconsistency".
Another error was to divide up the Scriptures along these categories, and only go for the writings of Paul, and probably not all of them (heretics such as Marcion did this). Nothing new under the sun...
