✚ Soteriology · Saving Faith

Mere-Assent

This is a contested or rejected alternative.

The Westminster baseline on Saving Faith is Receptive-Resting-On-Christ-Alone. Personas and schools listed below hold this alternative position instead — either because they argued for it at the Assembly (like the Erastians on polity) or because they represent a receiving tradition that departed from the Standards on this point.
