Hyper-Grace Theology

This is also known as the modern grace message. It’s soteriological doctrine in Christianity that highlights divine grace & holds to Eternal Security. This doctrine has been mostly popularized among certain assertions of Charismatic Christianity.

Hyper-Grace believers hold that the believer isn’t under the Mosaic Law in any sense, that a person’s sinful actions can’t hurt fellowship with God, denies the necessity of the regular confession of sin (like the Catholic confessional booths) in the life of a believer & holds to the belief that every Christian will have an equal possession in Heaven is the most powerful have argued that grace is the most powerful motivator of obedience.

Believers reject viewing grace as a “license” to live in disobedience. They view it as the only way to stay away from sin & highlighting the natural consequences that sin may have.

This doctrine is similar to the Free Grace theologians.

They reject the idea of the “Lordship Salvation.” Lordship Salvation is the theological dispute regarding a soteriological question within Christianity on the relationship between faith vs works. They argue that this leads to self-examination & doubt.

Believers also deny that salvific repentance should be viewed as contrition & hatred for sin, instead being a change of mind.

Eternal Security

This is also known as “once saved, always saved.” It’s the belief giving Christian believers with an absolute assurance of their final salvation.

Its development, especially in Protestantism, has given rise to a plethora of different interpretations. Especially when defining aspects of determinism, libertarian free will & the significance of personal perseverance.

In the early 5th century, Augustinian soteriology views of predestination by predetermination came about, they didn’t validate Eternal Security. Soteriology is the doctrine of salvation.

By the 16th century, this idea became meshed into the theology of John Calvin & other reformers. Calvinist circles initially embraced Eternal Security under the name of “perseverance of the saints.” Eventually, the name became a synonym of the Calvinist doctrine of perseverance independent of its practical interpretations.

Then in the early 20th century, Eternal Security started to become a defining doctrine of Southern Baptist traditionalism. Around the same time, it also became a part of Plymouth Brethren theology. In this, the 2 forms represents its main form today.

In the 1980s, the Free Grace movement voiced that Eternal Grace was independent of the idea of the “Hyper-Grace” idea.

Eternal Security is based on the faith that the believer is an elect by divine determination. This is in Calvinist circles & has the minority worldview.

In some non-Calvinist circles & the prevailing worldview, Eternal Security is based on the faith that regeneration leads to unconditional perseverance & then salvation.

In other non-Calvinist circles & currently growing in the Free Grace views, Eternal Security is based on the faith that regeneration leads to salvation independent of perseverance.
