Decision theology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Decision theology is a popularized form of Christian theological belief regarding the way one must receive or achieve salvation in Jesus Christ. The premise of decision theology is that one must make a conscious decision to accept Christ, in contrast to some Reformed beliefs which reject free will. This view is most commonly found among many Evangelical and Fundamentalist Protestant evangelists such as Billy Graham. It is generally seen by most Protestant theologians as a simplified, often over-simplified, form of Arminian theology that postulates co-operation between man's free will and the grace of God in salvation.
