And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
He who has the Son has the life; He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
1 John 5:11

That is the whole shebang! No ifs, ands or buts. We can get into knock down, drag outs about issues of doctrine, paedo/credobaptism, faith alone/faith + works, modern worship/hymns, preservance of saints, blah, blah, etc, etc. That's all great and debate with our brothers will sharpen us all but it all comes down to - YOU MUST HAVE THE SON TO HAVE LIFE!

We can't lose sight of this simple truth. In all our discussions and theological wanderings don't let things get so complicated that Jesus' ulitimate sacrifice gets left out of the equation!
