Journal Title: Науковий вісник НУБіП України. Серія: Гуманітарні студії - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 280
Abstract
The relevance of the study of the subject of this article is the importance of comparative theology in contemporary Ukrainian and world scientific discourse and the practical dimension of the aspiration for Christian unity. The immediate cause of the proposed scientific community of the article was the appearance of works by Sergei Khudiev and Sergii Kobzar. The purpose of the study is to conduct a textual comparative analysis of the concepts of the assurance of salvation of evangelical Christians and Orthodox on the basis of the text of the Bible and theological sources. The scientific methods of research are as follows: textological, hermeneutical and comparative. It is proved that the Orthodox believers think more quickly about salvation in terms of Christian hope (expectation in the process of salvation), while evangelical Christians firmly believe that they are already saved (inspecting at the time of salvation). It is determined that the difference in the views on the belief in salvation also lies in the different meanings of the saving sacrifice of Christ: the Orthodox in the denial of power of sin and death see an open opportunity to achieve unity with God; Evangelical Christians in the redemptive sacrifice see an absolute momentous change in the status of a person before God. It has been analyzed that Orthodox and evangelical believers understand differently the doctrine of salvation for grace, which is also the difference between the perception of confidence in salvation.
