很多基督徒的世界是圣俗二分的,因为他们在救恩论上持守排外论的立场。本文通过对救恩论三种常见立场(排外论、包容论与多元论)的剖析,指出在基督宗教之外、或在非信徒之中,也完全是有得救可能性的。此外,本文也从圣经对福音或救恩进行反思,指出福音的核心是上帝自己、或神的国。人被拯救即是人进入神的国,但神的国并非是在将来,而是当下上帝的管治。因此,信徒的生命应以当下临在的、神的国为中心,活出超越尘世国度的生命,即是顺服上主、治理这地的生命。这种以神的国为中心的信仰实践,不仅有助打破信与不信的藩篱,也有助建设和谐中国,使基督教中国化进一步走深走实。
Due to the exclusionary stance of soteriology, many Christians' lives are divided into the holy and the secular. By analyzing three common positions of soteriology (exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism), this article shows that salvation is entirely possible outside Christianity, or among non-believers. In addition, the article also reflects on the gospel or salvation in light of Scripture, maintaining that the core of the good news is God himself, or the kingdom of God. To be saved is to enter the kingdom of God, but the kingdom of God lies not in the future, rather, the rule of God sets in the present. Therefore, the life of believers should be centered on the kingdom of God, and live beyond the life of the transcendent kingdom in the moment. Further, it is the life of obeying the Lord and managing the earth. The faith-centered practice not only helps to break down the barriers between believers and non-believers, but also necessary to build a harmonious China and thus further deepen the sinicization of Christianity.
