To Be or Not to Be . . . Saved
What do Christians do in the presence of other religious traditions? Religious Pluralism
3 Basic Positions • Exclusivism • Inclusivism • Pluralism
Exclusivism • Salvation through Jesus only. • Although other religions have truth the “saving” is only through one religion.
Inclusivisim • Salvation mediated through Jesus. • One religion is best but salvation is possible through others.
Pluralism • Salvation maybe through Jesus. • Other religions have just as valid ways of salvation.
