Gnosticism—Spiritual things are good. Material things are evil.
Docetism—Jesus’ humanity was not real. He only appeared to have a physical body.
Cerinthus—Jesus was just a man and the spirit descended on him at his baptism—in the form of a dove—and left him before the crucifixion.
Everyone is a sinner.
The outcome of being a sinner is death.
Jesus died for our sin.
Fellowship with the Father is through his Son Jesus Christ.
