#intellectual works

“Let’s call out heresy without apology: The evangelical fundamentalist view of salvation - from Reformed Calvinism to Dispensationalism and everything in between - is not that the atoning death of the Cross has saved us, but rather that our intellectual belief in the Cross has saved us.  Ergo, they ultimately trust not in a salvation by divine grace, but in a salvation by human works - albeit a cognitive human works.  And yet they dare to accuse the Orthodox of the very ‘works of salvation’ of which they are in fact guilty.”
