Questions tagged [soteriology]

Questions on Biblical texts relating to the Christian teaching of Soteriology, AKA "Christian Salvation": This tag is for questions on passages used to support, could likely, or prove to impact one's view of Soteriology, while questions on Soteriology itself remain off-topic.
