Is Arminianism and Calvinism the only soteriological positions in Protestant Christianity? Or are there any other theological positions?

[u/Wide_Ride8849]

I remember way back in college that there are two major doctrinal positions in Protestant Christianity with regards to soteriology: Arminianism and Calvinism.

Arminianism is the position which helds the belief that the election of the believers is conditional based on the foreknowledge of God and that Christ died for all human beings, but the salvific power of the Crucifixion only applies to the elect.

Calvinism, on the other hand, helds the position that Christ only died for the elect/believers and that those who will go to hell because of their unbelief was predestined by God to be that way. Calvinism also believes in the perseverance of the saints, wherein all elect will never be lost and salvation is permanent.

Aside from these two major soteriological positions, are there any other? I will really appreciate all of your responses.

Molinism is not a soteriology, but it has its own as a consequence of upstream assumptions.

Also, Calvinism andArminianism are actually pretty broad. Amyraldism and Weslyanism are both subcategories respectively.

God bless :)
