Apr 8, 2024 · The doctrine of lordship salvation teaches that submitting to Christ as Lord goes hand-in-hand with trusting in Christ as Savior.

Apr 10, 2024 · Lordship salvation is correct that faith is justified (proven and demonstrated) by works (James 2:14-26). As a result of this middle-of-the-road position, we receive constructive criticism (and not so constructive criticism) from both sides.
Jun 9, 2009 · “Lordship salvation” advocates say that in order to be saved, one must not only believe and acknowledge that Christ is Lord, but also submit to His lordship. In other words, there must be — at the moment one trusts in Christ for salvation — a willingness to commit one’s life absolutely to the Lord, even though the actual practice of a ...
May 1, 2023 · Hodges lashes the historic reformational account of the Gospel, which he labels “Lordship salvation,” as a form of works-righteousness, because it affirms that repentance—turning from sin to serve Jesus as one’s Lord—is as necessary for salvation as faith—turning from self-reliance to trust Jesus as one’s Savior.

- Must A Non-Christian Repent to Have Eternal Life?
- Must A Christian Continue to Repent and Believe and to Do Good Works?
Christians hold different views on progressive sanctification. (See the article “Models of Sanctification.”) On the issue of whether Jesus must be one’s Lord to be one’s Savior, the higher life and Chaferian views of progressive sanctification differ significantly from the Reformed view. This debate has been especially controversial in the past one...
“Free Grace” Theology Says No
Zane Hodges argues, “Faith alone (not repentance and faith) is the sole condition for justification and eternal life.… The call to faith represents the call to eternal salvation. The call to repentance is the call to enter into harmonious relations with God.”2 Hodges contends that the only condition for salvation is intellectually believingand that other elements such as repentance and surrender are heretical additions to the gospel that result in salvation by works rather than by faith alone...
The Bible Says Yes
What Is Repentance? Repentance is a God-enabled change of heart that results in a change of life. It is a gift that God gives (Acts 5:31; 11:18; 2Tim 2:25; cf. Acts 3:26; Rom 2:4). It is an active, volitional turning from sin to God that consists not just of sorrow for the wrong done to God but also of a genuine desire to abandon that sin. “Godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret” (2Cor 7:10). Repentance is not self-reform or doing acts of penance to earn God’...
“Free Grace” Theology Says No
Zane Hodges denies that a person who believes in Christ must continue believing to possess eternal life. He argues that someone who previously believed in Christ can “drop out” of the Christian life, just as a student can drop out of school.7 Charles Ryrie also argues that the Bible does not teach that good works and continuing to believe in Jesus are necessary fruit of saving faith. He argues that Christians may be in a lifelong state of carnality and may even become unbelieving believers; t...
The Bible Says Yes
Continuing to repent and believe in Jesus and to do good works are necessary fruit of conversion. God enables all Christians to persevere. Genuine believers can neither totally nor finally fall away from the faith but will certainly continue in the faith to the end and be eternally saved. “We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end” (Heb 3:14; cf. Col. 1:22–23). (See the article “What Is Apostasy? Can a Christian Become Apostate?”) Repentance is...
Surrender to Jesus' lordship is not an addendum to the biblical terms of salvation; the summons to submission is at the heart of the gospel invitation throughout Scripture. In contrast, easy-believism teaches that submission to Christ's supreme authority is not germane to the saving transaction.
Jul 18, 2023 · Lordship salvation underscores the call for believers to surrender their lives to the lordship of Christ. It teaches that true faith involves a belief in Jesus, including a willingness to submit to His authority, yielding control of our lives to Him.
