Buttigieg endorses orthodox Christian teaching on salvation and predicts a ‘reckoning’ for Republicans

Published



Mayor Pete Buttigieg, an Episcopalian who has discussed his faith extensively during the Democratic primary, affirmed the Christian belief that faith in Jesus is required for salvation and questioned whether conservatism is consistent with Christianity.

MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough asked Buttigieg if he accepts orthodox Christian teaching during an interview Thursday. Scarborough specifically asked about the Christian beliefs that include that Jesus Christ is the son of God, who died for man’s sins, was buried, then rose, and that “your salvation depends on your faith in Jesus Christ.”
