What specifically was the different angle/point of view you are mentioning?

I will give a hint…we use the term Salvation often extracted from the context in which we see the term used. It is a far more ambiguous term than people are typically able to recognize. It is a word that adapts to its context very strictly. Salvation in one context can mean something totally different than salvation in another. It is not a catch all statement like we make it out to mean commonly.

I would think though that there is truth to your summary, stated alone it is doctrinally correct, however Romans 6 defines what grace is and what grace does as opposed to being an end in and of itself, grace does not just cover, it does stuff…very important stuff and that is where our emphasis is often lacking. This concept will be where I wrap a lot of these ideas up. The thing I am trying to emphasize though is, a lot of our commonly used statements have been devalued of meaning because their usage has become like monopoly money in a spiritual economy. Sometimes we need to take a deeper look and dredge up the old truths and state them in fresh ways. This was actually how the prophets often worked. They often were men who re-iterated the covenants, but always used fresh language to get the point across. I think that is what I hope to accomplish with this discussion.

I hope the subject matter is intriguing enough to keep you tracking though Bro. How could it not be? It is the most important discussion anyone could ever have…
