What is Exclusivism? (Salvation Perspectives P4)

Показать описание
In soteriology, the theology of salvation, exclusivism is the position that excludes the validity of other ways to Heaven. So, Christian exclusivist claim that the only way to Heaven is through Christ, thus, excluding all other religions as non-valid approaches to salvation. Exclusivism is not unique to Christianity because many of the world religions view other religions as non-valid. Unfortunately, because modern society believes it is more loving to be inclusive, the exclusivist is often mocked for their position. However, regardless of societies current philosophies about inclusion, the Christian exclusivist position is, by far, the most biblically accurate position.

Evidence:
1. Jesus claimed that He was the only way to Heaven (John 14:6)
2. Jesus implied that, if there was another way, then He would not have needed to die (Matthew 26:39)
3. The disciples of Jesus claimed that He was the only way to be saved (Acts 4:12)
4. The disciples preached to religious people that they needed Christ to save them, implying that them being religious was not enough

Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
It's kinda sad to see so many churches move away from the Christ alone teaching to whatever your feelings are; that's ok with God.
Twisting scripture to conform to the world's views might be easier but the end of that is death.
I think we need to go back to preaching we are filthy sinners who have no hope of heaven(no matter what we do) except through the gift of salvation in Christ.
