Let us define all three soteriologies. 1. Don Nesbitt. The Lord put it on my heart to call him the Lord's bloodhound. (Coined by Vincent Strycula) Don Nesbitt teaches salvation is a gift that had to be accepted by believing and asking God. Salvation to him was a two-step formula."I...
Introduction Few questions in patristic theology are as contested, or as consequential, as the relationship John Chrysostom draws between faith and works in the appropriation of salvation.

Theodoret of Cyrus taught that salvation was a free gift that has to be accepted by believing and confessing, and works weren't involved. And no, this isn't about baptism. Romans 3:24 κδ'. Δικαιούμενοι δωρεάν τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι, διὰ τῆς ἀπολυτρώσεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. Πίστιν γὰρ μόνην εἰσενεγκόντες, τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων...
