Disciples affirm salvation through Jesus Christ, but the denomination's progressive theological culture and creedless tradition mean that specific soteriological formulas are not binding. Many Disciples affirm grace through faith in the classical Protestant sense. Others engage with more expansive understandings of salvation that emphasize reconciliation, liberation, and the transformation of creation alongside personal forgiveness.

The open communion table — where all who confess Jesus as Lord are welcome, regardless of baptismal status or denominational membership — reflects the Disciples' inclusive soteriology. The denomination includes both traditional evangelical voices and more progressive theologies, making a single soteriological statement impossible.
