    John Wesley spent the greater portion of his life developing an ordo salutis, or order of salvation. While some aspects of his theory of salvation were similar to that of other major denominations of his day (i.e., Lutheran, Catholic), Wesley’s order of salvation was unique. Where most soteriology almost ignored the third person of the Trinity, much of Wesley’s salvation theory and practice emphasized the Holy Spirit. Another unique aspect was the progression a person would take through each stage of salvation.…

    John Pipers sermon was a reflection of the biblical story line due to the discussion, salvation is granted by grace. For the reason that individuals are saved by grace noble works do not entitle people to enter the kingdom of God. However, in the midst of sin God is merciful to the point that a person who has committed evil disgusting crimes can be forgiven of their sins. When a person repents of their sins God’s grace allows forgiveness. In addition, I believe the message presented a respectable explanation of God’s Grace.…

    In regards to the play, "The Christians," by Lucas Hnath, the controversy the Christians vs. Christians, quarrel about the existence of hell. Ultimately, the idea that hell does not exist in the presence of Christianity seems absurd, since Christians deem the origin of evil behavior to be stored there. In another literary work "the philosophy of pitchforks," it also reassesses the image of hell. Pastor Paul did have a good point when he stated that the Bible "does not say hell" (Hnath 37). The poem also correlates with the mystery behind the truth about hell.…

Albert C. Outler noted that this sermon has the most extensive history of oral preaching behind it of any of the written sermons; therefore, he recommended it as the best single essay by which to judge Wesley’s soteriology (Maddox 323).
