“Conversely, ‘keeping the law is always the condition for remaining in the covenant, never the means of earning God’s grace.’12 These two points constitute what Sanders terms ‘covenantal nomism’ or ‘the view according to which salvation comes by membership in the covenant, while obedience to the commandments preserves one’s place in the covenant.” (Volume 9, Number 2, Page 99)
“Sanders contends that ‘in the entire body of Palestinian Jewish literature … membership in the covenant is considered salvation.’” (Volume 9, Number 2, Page 99)
“Probably the most significant element of the emerging church is its commitment to relationships and community.” (Volume 9, Number 2, Page 39)
“The Arminian, on the other hand, embraces the doctrine of the conditional security of the believer. A genuine conversion experience is not sufficient to guarantee the final salvation of the believer. Only ‘the one who endures to the end shall be saved’2 (Matt 24:13; cf. Rev 21:7). The Arminian’s position rests on a strong view of human freedom and the believer’s responsibility to persevere in his faith in order ultimately to be saved (Col 1:22–23; Heb 3:14). Consequently, the true believer can fail to persevere, lose his faith, and suffer eternal judgment (Heb 6:4ff; 10:26ff).” (Volume 9, Number 1, Pages 50–52)
“In summary Wright defends a two-step process of justification for the believer: a present justification in which by faith the believer wears the badge of membership in the covenant community and a future justification in which by faithfulness the believer is given the final verdict of acquittal. Like Dunn, it is a justification by faith and works.” (Volume 9, Number 2, Page 113)
