Yes, I always took Locke's evasions as a disbelief in Jesus as God. They line up too perfectly. But nothing that made me think that he disbelieved Jesus was the Messiah, on a divine mission, and that the scriptures were divine revelation.
"But nothing that made me think that he disbelieved Jesus was the Messiah, on a divine mission, and that the scriptures were divine revelation."
He certainly did not believe salvation was by works from some of what I read. This would probably make him ok with most Protestants though the Jesus is not God would thing would raise some eyebrows as the whole atonement thing goes.
