I have seen this often, when some stand on scripture rather than in the Spirit and use the written word to condemn those who Jesus shed His blood for. And if they just could stop and seek the heart of God, seek the conviction of the Spirit, they would repent of this work they seem to believe so ardently is of God.
Just a few weeks ago, I was roundly attacked, by several, for taking up for a whole group of believers who were being condemned unjustly. I tried to answer, but nothing was accomplished other than to cause more hurt and confusion. It seems that some christians have developed a shell around their hearts which does not allow compassion to enter or leave. Words spoken or written in the spirit of being correct will never heal, will never save, will never bring unity in Christ. They only bring hurt, division, sin.
And so, I am leaving this discussion, just as my brother David recommended not so long ago.
I am sorry that it has come to this,
In His most worthy love,

You are of course correct.So much of this is not about defending the Gospel but self righteousness and self promotion. No Christian being led by the Spirit could say that there is no true Christianity if we simply believe that Jesus is the Son of God. There are far too many scriptures attaining to Christ as the Son of God. It was what he claimed to be and told Peter when he said. You are the Christ. The Son of the Living Giod
God has blessed you Son of Jonah, this was not revealed to you by man but by my Father in Heaven.
The tone of many replies here shows what is the driving force behind them. I will follow your Christian example and also withdraw from this discussion
God Bless for the example yoiu show by the Holy Spirit within you
