Antinomianism
Antinomianism is the rejection of a socially established morality or the belief that under the gospel dispensation of grace, moral law is of no use or obligation because faith alone is necessary to salvation. Although antinomianism and the Protestant doctrine of sola fide (justification through faith alone) are historically related, antinomianism takes the notion of the relative weight of law to its logical extreme, opposing law as a groundwork, which in the political realm is known as anarchism. Commonly seen as the theological opposite to antinomianism is the notion that obedience to a code of religious law earns salvation, such as Legalism or Works righteousness or Judaizing.
