English -ism English decisionism From decision + -ism. Pronunciation: /dɪˈsɪʒənɪzəm/ 1. The doctrine that moral or legal precepts are the product of decisions made by political or legal bodies Labels: uncountable 2. A theology that stresses the importance of the decision to become a Christian for salvation. Often this decision takes the form of the sinner's prayer. Labels: uncountable Example: The decisionism of today's SBC is problematic, but many of us remain unconvinced that dropping decision from our evangelistic vocabulary is a necessary response […]. Example: The sinner's prayer is an example of a wrong presupposition that plagues much of modern evangelism. It comes from the errant notion that a sinner's decision to receive Christ is the determining factor in salvation. The sinner's prayer is an offshoot of this concept of decisionism, despite the fact that it utterly removes the idea that it is actually God who draws people to Himself.
