Order of Salvation

Also called Ordo Salutis.

A scheme setting out the stages by which a person is saved — calling, illumination, conversion, justification, sanctification. Lutheran theology uses the vocabulary but resists treating it as a sequence a person can track in themselves.

In Doctrine — What Lutherans teach, and where it differs from neighbouring traditions.
