Some within the [[Anglicanism|Anglican Communion]], notably [[Anglo-Catholic]]s, also hold to this belief, despite their separate history. However, in the [[Eastern Orthodox]], [[Oriental Orthodox]], and [[Eastern Catholic]] Churches, it is only [[God]] who has the final say on who enters heaven. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, heaven is understood as union (''[[Theosis]]'') and communion with the Triune God (reunion of Father and Son through love). | | | | | | | - | In [[Protestantism|Protestant]] Christian sects, eternal life depends upon the sinner receiving [[Divine Grace|God's grace]] (unearned and undeserved blessing stemming from God's love) through [[faith]] in [[Jesus]]' death for their sins, see [[atonement]], his resurrection as the Christ, and accepting his Lordship (authority and guidance) over their lives. Some Protestant sects also teach that a physical baptism, or obligatory process of transformation or experience of spiritual rebirth, is further required. Also, Protestantism is divided into groups who believe in the doctrine of [[eternal security]] (once a person becomes a Christian, s/he remains one forever, also referred to by the slogan "once saved, always saved") and those who believe that a person who sins continually without any repentance or penitence was never saved in the first place. Some sects do believe that those who continually sin can lose their salvation, though it is generally believed that it shows that the individual was not fully committed in the first place. | + | In [[Protestantism|Protestant]] Christian sects, eternal life depends upon the sinner receiving [[Divine Grace|God's grace]] (unearned and undeserved blessing stemming from God's love) through [[faith]] in [[Jesus]]' death for their sins, see [[Atonement in Christianity|atonement]], his resurrection as the Christ, and accepting his Lordship (authority and guidance) over their lives.
