salvationism
Deliverance through faith
Salvationism is the doctrine or practice emphasizing salvation of the soul, particularly through evangelical Christianity.
The term often refers specifically to the beliefs and methods of the Salvation Army, which combines religious mission with social service.
More broadly, it describes any zealous commitment to saving souls or, figuratively, to rescuing people from perceived moral or social ills.
