Justification
How salvation is received: sola fide, imputation of alien righteousness, forensic vs. effective justification
Konfesionálne pozície / Confessional Positions
2 documented positions across 2 traditions
Luteránska / Lutheran
sola_fide_forensic Justification by faith alone, understood forensically: God declares the sinner righteous on account of Christ's merit, received through faith. Justification is God's verdict, not a process of moral improvement.
Jednota bratská / Unity of Brethren
fides_formata Faith that justifies is never 'alone' in the sense of isolated from its fruits. While the Unity affirmed justification by faith, they insisted on faith 'formed by love' (fides caritate formata) — sanctification inseparable from justification.
This is NOT the Roman Catholic position on merit — but it is closer to it than the strict Lutheran forensic model. The tension is real and theologically productive.
