1. antinomianism

   Antinomianism is a belief or religious doctrine that rejects the moral law, obedience to commandments, or established norms of ethics or morality, often asserting that salvation is based on faith or divine grace rather than adherence to moral or religious rules. In other words, it argues that moral laws are not compulsory for a person who has received divine grace or believes in God. The term comes from the Greek word "nomos" meaning "law" and "anti-" meaning against.

1. Antinomianism

   Antinomianism in Christianity is the belief that under the gospel dispensation of grace, moral law is not binding on Christians because faith alone is sufficient for salvation. Antinomianism and the Protestant doctrine of sola fide are historically related. 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. The term "antinomianism" emerged soon after the Protestant Reformation and has historically been used mainly as a pejorative against Christian thinkers or sects who carried their belief in justification by faith further than was customary. Examples are Martin Luther's critique of antinomianism and the Antinomian Controversy of the 17th century Massachusetts Bay Colony. Although the term is 16th century, the topic has its roots in Christian views on the old covenant extending back to the 1st century. It can also be extended to any individual who rejects a socially established morality. However, few groups, outside of anarchism such as Christian anarchism or Jewish anarchism, explicitly call themselves "antinomian".
