These are some of the Christian theologians, pastors, biblical scholars, and church leaders whose perspectives and insights fully or moderately resonate with the belief (within the spectrum of orthodox Christian soteriology) that a person's eternal destiny is a result of both God's initiative of grace and human response of faith. They agree that, while God offers the free gift of salvation to every person, only those who receive Christ will have eternal life. They affirm both the sovereignty and foreknowledge of God, and the human responsibility to either receive or reject God.
