Talk:Inclusivism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Some Evangelical scholars believe that God judges all people based on their response to the Holy Spirit, and that just as Romans 2:14-15 shows that God is righteous by condemning people who violate natural law as they understand it, it also shows His mercy in forgiving those who have lived up to all the light they have had. Thus, it is possible for people to be saved through Christ, even if they have not been instructed by Christian missionaries."

Can we be more specific? Which Evangelical scholars? Do we have a citation? It is my understanding that Evangelicals are generally less likely to accept inclusivism, and to use specific Biblical passages (John 14:6) to assert an exclusivist agenda. Some of the better known proponents of inclusivism in Christianity were of the Anglican and Catholic persuasion, which might be seen to promote a more intellectual reading of texts, and a rejection of outright Biblical literalism.
