Subject: Do Jesus and Paul agree on salv by faith |
Bible Note: Emmaus, I agree with you, the LDS view of Baptism is different. I also affirm that you and I share much more in common theologicaly than LDS. Actually, I don't share much of anything with LDS. But with the issue of soteriology I am disagreement with both groups. I must say that when you mentioned that before the Reformation there was agreement. I would definately beg to differ. Why do you think the creeds were written? Which I agree with, by the way. They were written to combat heresy, such as Pelagian heresy(dealing with soteriology), others include the Arian heresy, Sabellian heresy as well others. All occurring prior to the Reformation. The Reformation was needed, because, at that point in time the Church had fallen away from the central tenants of Holy scripture and irrefutably became corrupt. Way more could be said, but nevertheless, these controversies span well before the Reformation. Christians must continualy appeal the authority of scripture and be careful not to let tradition trump the word of God. In Christ, Brad |
