Salvation

Salvation – Historically, Today, and Biblically

         By Kevin E. Hughes

The Intent of this Study of Salvation

This Study of Salvation is a Topical Study and Not a particular Book Study.
The Purpose or Goal is Not to press a particular view on Salvation but to equip persons to best understand Divine Salvation so they can make the best informed decision Biblically.
I will start with an Introduction to the Topic of Salvation, by defining it and then move to what Salvation has meant Historically.
Historically beginning with, the Greek Philosophy’s Influence on Judaism and Christianity, then Major Views of Christianity Historically – during the Early Church, the Middle Ages, and the Reformation.
The Key Events of the Reformation, in the Persons, Confessions, and Synods that brought on Calvinism, Arminianism, and Lutheranism will be presented.
Bible Interpretation’s role in one’s view of Salvation will be emphasized with the understanding that if people have a differing Methods of Interpretation that they will never come to a common conclusion. With this in mind Interpretation in Judaism, Early Church, Reformation, and Today will be presented.
Also an Overview of Salvation in Old Testament leading to Salvation in the New Testament. We ask and explain the question was Salvation the same or different in the two Testaments.
We will be defining Salvation’s Key Terms, along with Controversial Topics like, Predestination, Free Will, Election, Calling, Choosing, Human depravity, Foreknowledge, Limited and Unlimited Atonement, and the Grace of God.
Many people are very passionate about what they believe about Salvation which brings out at times emotional responses to some key controversial issues.
Each person is entitled to their belief, but they should do their best to explain not only WHAT they believe, but HOW they came to that belief.
Ultimately there is only one Plan of Salvation that is God’s plan that all should strive to understand.
