I hate to burst anyone's bubble but in depth study of theology doesn't get you closer to true doctrine than a 4 year old singing 'Jesus loves me this I know'... actually it takes you away.

Theology for self growth is fine if that helps you. But few can keep it there, they have invested so much time and effort, they can't help but defend their 'doctrine' publicly... sway, challenge, debate, judge others by it.

Just find your own place with God, let others find theirs.

You post this as an absolute. Are you absolutely sure you're correct. How could you defend your position?

There was only one perfect person so only one perfect doctrine, we can't replicate that perfect life or that doctrine. It's also not necessary to be perfect or understand perfectly. Jesus left us enough life examples of being saved in faith without theology.
