@LostinAusten27 Interesting...so you moved away from a pretty liturgical church and reformed soteriology through some fairly different church polity and back to a mainline church but Wesleyan.

Mormon telestial kingdom: lowest level, for the wicked who may burn off sin in hell before arriving; no access to God the Father or Jesus, only the Holy Spirit visits.

Details of the lowest tier of the Mormon afterlife.

Mormon afterlife telestial kingdom LDS soteriology
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Mormon terrestrial kingdom: middle level for 'lukewarm Mormons'; Jesus and Holy Spirit present, but no access to God the Father.

Details of the middle tier of the Mormon afterlife.

Mormon afterlife terrestrial kingdom LDS soteriology
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Mormon celestial kingdom: highest level, where one may become a god. Leads into the concept of Mormon exaltation.

Overview of the highest tier of the Mormon afterlife, previewing the exaltation concept discussed in more detail later.

celestial kingdom LDS soteriology Mormon exaltation
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Christian view of salvation by grace: entirely unearned, covering forgiveness, reception into heaven, and future glorification — all purely by grace.

Seventh vocabulary comparison: 'saved by grace.' Mike articulates the Christian doctrine of grace as entirely free, unearned, and unkeepable by human effort.

salvation by grace sola gratia Christian soteriology
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Mormon view of 'saved by grace': Jesus earns your resurrection (basic bodily resurrection), but full salvation requires burning off sin and earning one's way upward.

The Mormon concept of grace is limited to resurrection — much less than what Christians mean by grace.

Mormon soteriology LDS grace universal resurrection (LDS)
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Mormon phrase: 'saved by grace after all that we do' — contrasted with Ephesians 2:8-9's 'by grace you have been saved through faith, not of works.'

Mike highlights the definitive Mormon phrase that encapsulates their works-based soteriology, directly contrasting it with the key Pauline text.

Ephesians 2:8-9 Ephesians 2:8-9 sola gratia Mormon soteriology
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Romans 11:6 teaches that grace and works are mutually exclusive — mixing them destroys the concept of grace.

Mike reinforces the biblical incompatibility of grace-plus-works with a second Pauline reference.

Romans 11:6 sola gratia Mormon soteriology Romans 11:6
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Mormon definition of exaltation: becoming a god, populating your own world with spirit children, and perpetuating the cycle of eternal progression infinitely.

The Mormon concept of exaltation goes far beyond Christian glorification — it involves deification and cosmic reproduction.

eternal progression spirit children LDS soteriology
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

The exaltation requirement to 'love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and neighbor as yourself' means no one meets it — creating either despair or self-deception.

Mike focuses on one specific exaltation requirement (the Great Commandment) to show that the Mormon salvific bar is humanly unachievable.

Ephesians 2:8-9 Ephesians 2:8-9 LDS soteriology works-based salvation
Mike Winger idea 2018-01-24

Christian definition of the gospel: the good news of forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection — sufficient for complete salvation.

Ninth vocabulary comparison: 'the gospel.' For Christians, the gospel is straightforward good news requiring faith, not works.

Christian soteriology gospel faith
Mike Winger idea 2018-03-14

Two formulas contrasted: Catholic (faith + works = salvation) vs. Christian/James (faith = salvation + works as result)

Crystallizing the difference between Catholic and Protestant soteriology

James 2 James 2 sola fide Catholicism
Mike Winger idea 2018-03-14

Romans 4:4-5 — wages vs. gift; faith counted as righteousness to the one who does not work but believes

Additional Pauline argument against Catholic soteriology

Romans 4:4-5 justification by faith sola fide grace
Mike Winger idea 2018-08-22

The simplest test for distinguishing true from false teachers is the identity of Jesus (who is he?) and the means of salvation (how am I saved?) — 1 John and Ephesians 2:8-9

Q&A: question from Zipa Duck about how new Christians can identify false vs. true teachers.

1 John Ephesians 2:8-9 1 John Ephesians 2:8-9 Christology
Mike Winger idea 2018-08-16

Sye acknowledges Winger's critique as kind though erroneous; notes soteriology will be a central difference underlying their apologetic disagreement

Sye's opening statement and introduction

Calvinism soteriology presuppositional apologetics
Mike Winger idea 2018-08-16

Winger argues his objections to presuppositionalism are biblical, not soteriological, and would hold even if he were Calvinist

Winger's clarification before asking Sye to explain presuppositionalism

biblical authority soteriology presuppositional apologetics
Mike Winger idea 2018-08-16

Soteriology enters: Sye argues if a person contributes anything to their salvation (including the choice of faith), salvation becomes a work; leads into the faith-as-a-gift debate

Sye introduces Calvinist soteriology as the foundation for the apologetic difference

Romans 8 Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 8 Ephesians 2:8-9 Calvinism
Mike Winger idea 2018-08-16

Winger holds that faith is not a work (the Bible says so), but is a choice to trust; Sye argues the Bible's statement that faith is not a work does not resolve the logical problem if faith is something you do

Core soteriological exchange

Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 4 Ephesians 2:8-9 faith Romans 4
