Carlton Pearson's legacy is characterized by his transition from a prominent evangelical preacher to a proponent of inclusive theology, emphasizing love, acceptance, and questioning traditional religious dogma.

The doctrine of Inclusivism is a philosophical or religious perspective that asserts the possibility of multiple paths or avenues to truth, salvation, or enlightenment. Inclusivists maintain that while their own beliefs may hold a significant measure of truth, they acknowledge the potential validity of other belief systems as well. It emphasizes inclusivity, tolerance, and a broad-minded approach to religious or philosophical diversity.
