To Be or Not to Be . . . Saved

Religious Pluralism What do Christians do in the presence of other religious traditions?

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.
