Evangelikale Christen behaupten, dass die Errettung allein durch Glaube zustandekommt (sola fide) und sie beschuldigen die Heiligen der Letzten Tage, einen unbiblischen Glauben an Errettung durch Werke bzw an die Werksgerechtigkeit zu haben.
Die Ironie dieser Anklage ist, dass es nicht wirklich irgendwelche Kontroversen geben sollte. Wegen unterschiedlicher Fachausdrücke und eingebautem Mistrauen zwischen HLT und anderen Christen sind beide Gruppen allgemein verwirrt, was genau die andere Gruppe glaubt.
Die Evangelikale Position
Entgegen dem, was Heilige der Letzten Tage glauben bedeutet durch Glaube allein nicht, dass man bekennen kann, an Christus zu glauben, um dann Amok zu laufen mit seinem Leben. Es ist viel komplizierter als der Titel zu erkennen gibt.
While each denomination varies slightly in how they define justification by faith, a common place to start is that good works stem from faith.[1] In other words, if one has the appropriate amount or type of faith, then they will be driven by their love of Jesus Christ to keep His commandments and ordinances.[2]
This position is well supported by scripture:
To an Evangelical Christian the word "works" has a negative connotation and is often associated with "works of the law" which Paul roundly condemns (see, for example, Gal. 2:16). In fact, many go so far as to prefer the word "deeds" over "works" because the former is nowhere mentioned in connection with the law. [edit] The Mormon position
Because Mormons consider works separate from faith, many Evangelicals assume that Mormons don't believe faith is important for salvation. The implication here is that the atonement is not necessary since a "righteous" enough person can make it to heaven without it.
This misconception does not take into account Latter-day Saint scripture which emphatically states this is not true:
