Dalam teologi Kristian, Sinergisme adalah pendirian mereka yang berpendapat bahawa keselamatan terlibat dalam beberapa bentuk kerjasama antara rahmat ilahi dan kebebasan manusia. Sinergisme dipertahankan oleh Gereja Roman Katolik, Gereja Ortodoks, dan Gereja Methodist . [1] [2] [3] Malah, ia juga adalah sebahagian daripada teologi Arminian. [4] [5]
Sinergisme menentang monergisme (yang membantah idea bahawa manusia mempunyai pilihan bebas), dan antar doktrin yang paling biasa dikaitkan dengan Reformasi Protestan serta Tradisi Lutheran, yang soteriologinya telah dipengaruhi kuat oleh bishop Afrika Utara dan Bapa Gereja Latin, Augustinus dari Hippo. (354–430). [6] Lutheranisme, bagaimanapun, mengakui keselamatan monergis tetapi kutukan sinergi (lihat § pandangan Luteran dan Kalvinis ).
Sinergisme dan semipelagianisme masing-masing mengajarkan beberapa kerjasama dalam karya penyelamatan antara Tuhan dan manusia, tetapi pemikiran semipelagian mengajar bahawa separuh permulaan iman adalah tindakan kehendak manusia. [7] Council of Orange (529), Lutheran Formula of Concord (1577), dan majlis tempatan yang lain masing-masing mengutuk semipelagianisme sebagai bidaah. [8]
A further concession is made, one that could easily be made by an Arminian Protestant who shared the Orthodox understanding of synergism (i.e., regeneration as the fruit of free will's cooperation with grace): "The Orthodox emphasis on the importance of the human response toward the grace of God, which at the same time clearly rejects salvation by works, is a healthy synergistic antidote to any antinomian tendencies that might result from (distorted) jurdicial understandings of salvation.
Two examples of Christian synergism are the Catholic reformer Erasmus, who was roughly contemporary with Luther, and the seventeenth-century Dutch theologian Arminius. John Wesley, founder of the Methodist tradition, was also a synergist with regard to salvation.
Methodist "synergism" is grounded in the conviction that in the justification begun in the new birth (the beginning of the divine work), there will have to be "appropriate fruits."
When Arminian synergism is referred to, I am referring to evangelical synergism, which affirms the prevenience of grace to every human exercise of a good will toward God, including simple nonresistance to the saving work of Christ.
Arminian (Remonstrant) theology, as it evolved into a system, rejected unconditional election and, consequently, its monoergistic emphases.
The code and creed of Anglicanism is richly Trinitarian (divine self-disclosure), soteriologically monergistic (grace alone), and warmly pastoral (godly care) in its approach to the people it serves within and beyond the bounds of its membership.
