Lordship salvation

Lordship salvation is a doctrine taught by many past and present Evangelical theologians, being associated with popular figures such as John MacArthur, John Piper and R. C. Sproul. Lordship salvation teaches that although Christians are saved by faith alone, saving faith must be accompanied by submission to the Lordship of Christ, which leads to an obedient life as fruit. This doctrine is in stark contrast with Free Grace theology, which sees faith as distinct from a personal decision to turn from one's sins and submit to Jesus.
