the nature of salvation
original sin - Christians believe that all humans are born with the original sin which was given to us due to the betrayal acts of Adam and Eve, therefore they believe that salvation is needed to restore the relationship with God and have eternal life after death
-
beliefs
Catholic, Orthodox and some Anglicans - believe that they would receive Jesus' salvation by carrying out the sacraments (baptism, confirmation, reconciliation and the Eucharist) and by leading a Christian life
Evangelical Protestant - believe that salvation will be bought only if there is a personal acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Saviour
Liberal Protestant - believe that salvation will be bought only when they will follow a Christian life
-
importance
without salvation they cannot heal the broken relationship with God, therefore having no real relationship with God
without salvation they will still have their original sin with themselves which will prevent them from entering to heaven, therefore they will either go to hell or purgatory
-
divergent Christians
Catholic Church - believe that Jesus' death was an act of self-sacrifice which satisfied humans sins making salvation possible for all Christians by carrying out the sacraments of the Church (Christ's Passion)
Evangelical Protestant - believe that God's justice required punishment therefore rather any punishing humans for their original sin God took the punishment on himself through the death of Christ who acted as a substitute for the whole humanity (penal substitution theory). Salvation comes through faith in the atoning of the death of Christ
Liberal Protestant - brought about atonement through his moral example and love for humanity which inspires Christians to follow and live a good Christian life by repenting for thei sins and be reconciled with God
