Abstract

This article deals with the substitutability of morality with faith in respect to salvation. The writer has analyzed and examined four viewpoints in this respect: 1. Absolute substitution, 2. Absolute non-substitution, 3. Substitution in some ranks of salvations, and 4. Substitution in regard to some human beings. After a critical assessment of the arguments of each viewpoint, he has concluded that the two latter viewpoints are more acceptable than the first two ones. To confirm his view, he has presented some evidences, too.
