I've lost you completely. You are saying that what believers do as a consequence of their doctrine determines whether or not the doctrine is correct? So, if Christians believe as the Corinthians did that, since they are free from the law, they are free to sin all they like, it is
not true that they are free from the law? This simply doesn't make sense. The logical extreme of your position is that the Bible is false, since people misunderstand and misapply it all the time. Jesus, on the other hand, did not blame Scripture when people misunderstood it, but the people themselves.
I'm also kinda curious—what the heck does it mean to believe 0.5 points of TULIP?

You seem to be equivocating again. It is reasonable
given a Christian worldview. It is most certainly not reasonable given a scientific/empirical/naturalistic/materialistic one.
