Answer 1

My understanding is,

Jews believe there is a heaven where Jews and Christians will be accepted (but not neccessarliy on equal terms)

Muslims believe in a heaven where believers of the book will be accepted i.e. Muslims, Jews and Christians (but not neccessarily on equal terms).

Hindus, I think, believe in the re-incarnation of the soul in this world, but I may be wrong.

Buddhists believe you are re-incarnated to a position befitting the way you behaved in your previous life.

Mormons believe in the same heaven as Christians, only they will recieve greater rewards for their devotion. Incidentally, I have been told by a mormon that in order to gain access to heaven you must be married, but this was only one mormons opinion so I don't know if they all believe it.

Adventists, Catholics and Protestants all believe in the same heaven as far as I am aware, but Catholics believe, and to quote a Catholic 'you do know that now your dad's dead he can pull strings for you in heaven', whereas protestants generally that memories of this world will fall into the background in light of having the soul purpose of praising God.

Pagans and atheists belive, as I understand, that there is no afterlife.

Agnostics believe there is something but don't know what.

If that's what you mean by salvation, otherwise it's an inner self thing.

Think thats pretty much it but I'm prepared to be corrected by anyone who knows better.

By the way, I'm a born again Christian but most of this information is unbias from people I know of that religion.

And you forgot Jehovahs Witnesses who believe you must save a certain number of people to earn a place in the highest heavens, something I don't agree with.

Answer 2

~Jews= saved by grace through faith....Jesus is not required. Of course there are the messianic Jews that do belive they need to trust Jesus as their savior.

~I assume by moslem that means muslim. Never heard moslem before but I'll go off that. This one is hard cause there are several different beliefs. One, suicide bombing and talking infidels with you. Then there is others where they detest that idea.

~Hindus= Makinging it to Moksha. There are 4 diff. ways to it (Knowledge, Action, Devotion, or the royal road)

~Buddists= Reaching Nirvana through meditation and other things like good deeds.

~Mormons= Christ and the Atonement are responsible for salvation.

~Adventists= I would assume they believe what most christian religions believe for slavation. Jesus as their savior....They belive Christ will fulfill the rest of the Messianic prophecy.

~Catholics= Same, Jesus as their savior....They are just a lot more regemented and some other beliefs that may differ from other Christian denomonations

~Protestants= Have to be specific when deling with this one....Protastant is any religion that broke away from the Catholic Church. Christ is usually the way to salvation with most protestant religions

~Pagans= Cant tell you what they believe salvation is

~Agnostics= Dont really know if there is a god, but they dont fully deny that there isnt....so they dont really believe in salvation I guess

~atheists= Dont believe in a god, or salvation. They believe we are here to live and then die.

I realize I am not totally informed about all these and I most likely said something that might not be right, but this is what I think I know about these. Also you have to realize that people in all these religions and beliefs, believe different things on slavation

Answer 3

Neo Pagans do not believe in Salvation as others do because we don't see any need to be "saved". We live and die a cyclic existance. To Pagans our purpose on Earth is to learn and experience the material world to the glory of the spiritual whole. The Earth is sacred to us. No Heaven could be more beautiful, no existance could be more sacred. After death we will rest in the spiritual world, bathing in the knowledge and wisdom of the All until time comes to be reincarnated right here on our sacred, beloved Earth in the best form to learn that which we most need to know.

This varies, of course. There are many different types of Pagans.

Answer 4

I ensue to be a Unitarian Pastor myself and under no circumstances all Unitarian fellowships are an similar! different church homes may evaluate Unitarianism falling faraway from Christianity. Unitarianism purely is a distinct route. Unitarians do not believe all of us pick to be kept! you only pick saving in case you understand you the position doing incorrect even as doing the incorrect! in case you don't understand what your sins are how can you get kept from them? see you later as one lives in a useful spirit and under no circumstances degrading and under no circumstances insulting absolutely everyone.. consisting of the White Witch's creed; Do as one will yet damage none and be merry and stay in abundance! then the fellow could have an afterlife! there is no pick for salvation? How can someone dieing on a flow save sins? i am going to't settle for such an concept.. I useto pretend that I commonplace it! A Christian can bypass right into a Unitarian fellowship one Unitarian crew I went to 0.5 were Christians. In a Unitarian accumulating absolutely everyone should be called as a lot as clarify their beliefs and why they believe what they believe! Then the only which talked of his or her beliefs is given determination for a question and answer consultation. it truly is what occurs in a great number of Unitarian gatherings. My element isn't each and every Unitarian is a disbeliever of Christianity! those that say in the different case don't understand what they're speaking about! Unitarianism may purely be the bridge to all faiths that bring about God in spite of your God be. The bible does element obtainable shalt be a bridge a gathering position for a faiths. Unitarians have one significant rule: in case you're saying your faith is the only way and everyone else is incorrect then you definately'd no longer be welcomed!

Answer 5

There are several levels of salvation. In general we are talking about salvation from pain. This type of salvation deals with so called haven.
True salvation is when we are freed from:

- duallity
- time, space and matter
- mind
- wheel of transmigration

Choose wisely.
