The Founder of Salvation

by Mike Ratliff

For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. (Hebrews 2:10 ESV)

Over the last few days I have been in ‘discussion’ with a couple of fellows who have issues with the post There Are Only Two Religions in the Whole World. One is a professing Christian. The other is of an Eastern religion. I was astounded when it became apparent that their objections about the articles stance on free will were nearly identical thereby proving the point of the article. The basis of Pelagianism and Semi-Pelagianism are the very same as that of Islam or Hinduism or Buddhism or any other religion except Genuine Christianity. That basis revolves around Man’s Free Will and making a decision then receiving some sort of blessing or curse depending on whether the decision was according to the tenets of the religion or not.
