Sufficient or insufficient for doctrine. Jesus, not our doctrine, saves.
Aside from the sufficient-insufficient difficulties, the idea that “Jesus, not out doctrine, saves” is a common notion but it’s a bit misleading. Wouldn’t we have to answer, which Jesus saves? The Mormon Jesus? The Jesus of Judaism? The Jesus of liberal Protestant sects? Or is it the Jesus of orthodox doctrine who saves? Jesus saves because of who he is and what he has done. Those considerations of the person and work of Christ are of significant doctrinal import.
