For Christian Knights, the purpose of salvation is to rescue sinners from sin. Knights spread the Gospel to rescue sinners from the clutches of evil and spread the rule of virtue throughout the world. Once saved, these new believers are expected to participate in the crusade. Knights interpret their perceived enemy’s actions as malevolent and aggressive and conclude they have no choice but to defend themselves—and save the innocent and the entire world from that aggression.

For Gardeners, the purpose of salvation is to restore sinners to the spiritual growth process.
