Decision theology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Decision theology is the belief by some fundamentalist and evangelical sects of Christianity that individuals must make a conscious decision to "accept" and follow Christ (be "born again"). Some Christian denominations object to the "decision theology" theory as contradicting the monergism of orthodox historic Protestantism. Many fundamentalists and evangelicals adhere to a more severe version of monergism doctrine than do those in Lutheran or Reformed churches, and they also expect individuals to make a dramatic decision to "commit" themselves to Jesus Christ. Lutherans reject the "decision theology" of some modern evangelicals, believing that Faith receives the gift of salvation rather than causes salvation.
