By contrast, here is one interesting take on the essentials:

I have heard Christians refer to certain precepts in the Scriptures as non-essentials.
But we may rest assured there are no non-essentials in our Bibles.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in [the fire], purified seven times (Psalm 12:6).

When people talk of non-essentials in regard to anything in Gods Word, it is well to ask, Essential or non-essential to what? Regarding the souls salvation, undoubtedly the one great essential is faith in His blessed Son; His finished work alone avails to put away sin and procure peace with God. But if it is a question of what is essential to the enjoyment of communion with God*essential to obtaining the Lords approval at the judgment seat of Christ*then it is well to remember that in everything the believer is sanctified to the obedience of Christ.
