I strongly disagree. The sufficiency of Christ to infallibly secure the redemption of those whom He died for is of great significance for several reasons. 1) It puts the entire focus of salvation upon the merits of Christ and His atoning work. 2) It removes the possibility of one looking to themselves to append the completed work of Christ, e.g., one's "free-will choice" to vote Christ into the "office" as their Saviour and/or Lord; it dispels any notion of a "possibility salvation", which is no salvation at all. 3) It serves to establish a believer's assurance, knowing that Christ actually died for "them" in particular; i.e., when the Son of God took upon Himself human flesh and gave Himself as a sacrifice to atone for sins, He specifically came to redeem actual individuals whom the Father gave Him. Doubtless more reasons could be offered, but those I think should be sufficient. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
