As an acosmic panentheist i believe the world is spiritual and only appears physical.

There is one Christian Gnostic Docetist still here:P

[LuccoOntoNihil]

I am exoterically a Pentecostal Christian and esoterically a Neo-Manichaean (gnostic-dualist) and I accept docetism and nestorianism as possible and better alternatives for the mainstream doctrine of incarnation (hypostatic union.)

I don't accept Islam tho, the author of the Qur'an borrowed from the Manichaeans and gnostic-dualist themes concerning the cross but seemed to have totally missed the point in incorporating these themes when considering all the fleshly laws, regulations and calls for war elsewhere in the book. The Islamists historically preached an extremely fleshly, pro-natalistic and civilizationalistic religion, all of which contradicts Apostle Mani's teachings. Having said this, I do believe some Muslims might be saved despite their islamic ignorance. There are Muslims that may have seen the spiritual Christ in dream visions, revealing to them that he is God, and contexts like this, if the Muslim in that instance believes in Christs Light-deity/spiritual deity, then they are saved (this being only one example, there could be other ones.)

I am a spiritual determinist and a free-gracer with respect to salvation, so I don't agree with mainstream Christians that if you are a part of a different religion, that this means you're not saved, but on the other hand, I do lean towards eternal hell (there were historical groups of Manichaeans that also seemed to have accepted eternal hell doctrine, or at least something like it) Those that don't have the spiritual soul (belief in the spiritual Christ being the minimal index for this) and only the fleshly wants, will not be saved.

Thanks for video!
