「因信稱義」論是傳統基督教中的排他性的源頭.這是因為在此理論之下,只有信耶穌的人才可以被稱為義,進入永生.不信的人都會因為罪進入永死.所以無論有多好,多善良的無神論者,佛教徒或回教徒,在傳統基督教教義下,都是必定進入永死的.

但基督教中的排他性可能源自我們對「因信稱義」中的「信」的誤解.只要重新考慮「信」的真正意義,基督教中的排他性問題可能得以解決.

我們很容易把「信」當作相信一句句子.例如你說「我袋中有十元」.如我相信這句句子,即是我相信你袋中有十元.如我不信這句句子,即是我不信你袋中有十元.如果把「信」當作相信一句句子,「信耶穌」便變成相信以下幾句句子:「耶穌是神」,「人有罪」,「耶穌被釘十架為救贖人脫離罪」,「耶穌有復活」,「信以上的人有永生」.

這是我們一般的理解.很自然地,我們便會以為只有信這幾句句子的人才算是「信耶穌」的人,才可以罪很得赦免,被稱為義,進入永生.

但在福音書中耶穌宣講的「信」真的是相信一句或幾句句子嗎?

在福音書中記載了耶穌很多的事蹟與教訓.

綜合耶穌的教導與行為,他是在宣揚並示範一個生命取向及一套價值觀---一套他稱為「天國」的價值觀:愛人如己,寬恕人,愛護弱小,在上的應服侍人,為人犧牲等.

人天生自我中心(有「罪」),人需要侮改,接受並盡力實踐「天國」.

「信耶穌」深入的意思是相*信耶穌*宣揚的一套價值觀,即是接受那套價值觀.

所以今天如果一個人不相信某幾句句子,卻接受耶穌宣揚的一套價值觀,他便屬於「信耶穌」了.如此,一個「好的」無神論者,佛教徒,回教徒,...都可能持有大家未察覺的「信」,從而(以基督教詞彙說)進入永生.
