I have outlined some objections to soteriologies that presume that only
some are given a chance of eternal life. Such soteriologies can include
or exclude those mentally competent but lacking human evangelisation.
Fundamental to evaluating soteriologies I have looked at both what sin is
(being and doing) and what salvation consists in, as regards divine and
human interaction. On the one side I have considered God's goodness -
would such a being act unethically regarding man's eternity? On the
other hand I have looked at whether, and if so in what way, man is
required to respond - in what way or ways is chance (if at all) given.
Finally I have considered views about those who die in infancy.
Here I
have tentatively suggested my own theory which seeks to presume that
before death every human being may choose to accept of reject God, a
choice integral (I suggest) to salvation. / Department of Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
