Q: I live in the South. Museum Studies major. I am trying to learn more about getting saved and it's orgin? Would the concept of "getting saved" be considered under the umbrella of voluntarism because SB tradition? Thanks.

Very much so, at least in the way most people use that phrase. That idea of individual salvation typically involves believing certain doctrines or performing certain rites (such as baptism) that are assumed to be the exclusive vehicles of saving grace. There are intellectualist alternatives, but most people dismiss them as outside of Christianity. See my book, Varieties of Christian Universalism. My chapter on “existential universalism” is an intellectualist account of salvation.

Im glad Ididn't have to go farther than 4 min. Into this to know the maker of this video has no clue. If you even entertain the question can a trump supporter be a Christian than you have not read the Bible, let alone walked through life with open eyes at all. A true Christian actually knows that any man or woman in politics has to be at the very least going along with the program that is set forth by the one who runs every kingdom on earth. Therefore by default "any" person in politics that holds "any" political title has to be evil and working for evil. For instance , ( and this is just one of millions of examples) Donald trump signed off on a so called space force. After years of many governments ( kingdoms) of this world already taking part in the heliocentric deception of satan. That does not at all jive with Biblical Cosmology which is truth. Again that is just one example. But the implications of just how deep it goes is brightly shining in just this one dim light of truth.
