Who Gets Saved? Breaking Down Salvation in Christianity

Peace on The Doorstep

Send us a text

In this episode of Peace on the Doorstep, we explore one of the most debated questions in Christianity: Who gets saved? Is salvation exclusive to believers in Christ, or is God’s grace more expansive than we imagine? Inspired by David Platt’s Radical, Sarah unpacks the complexities of salvation—from faith versus works to the inclusivity of God’s grace.

Drawing on perspectives from Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Universalism, Sarah delves into the wide spectrum of beliefs about who is "in" and "out" of God’s kingdom. She challenges the idea that salvation is a rigid, fear-driven concept and instead offers a view rooted in transformation, love, and grace.

This episode also tackles hard-hitting topics, like the eternal debate over hell, the role of evangelism, and the prideful pitfalls of assuming we know God's plan for others. Whether you’ve been hurt by exclusive doctrines or are simply curious about the breadth of God’s mercy, this episode invites you to question, reflect, and embrace a more hopeful vision of salvation.

Yes, there will be some swearing. I start each episode with “b******t” as a heads-up, and I might swear in person or even during prayers. This podcast reflects the real me.

I’m still exploring my faith, and my questions stem from curiosity. I gather insights from various sources—books, articles, podcasts, conversations with priests, and tech tools. I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I encourage you to seek your own truth. I embrace technology to enhance this process because I’m a tech nerd at heart!
