Repentance
is a godly sorrow for sin with a renunciation of sin.
Isaiah 55:7; Matthew 4:17.
Salvation
is the act of God’s grace whereby we receive forgiveness for sins and stand before God as though we had never sinned. Romans 5:1; 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Sanctification
or Holiness, the act of God’s grace whereby we are made holy, is the second definite work and is subsequent to salvation. John 17:15-21; Hebrews 13:12.
The Baptism of the Holy Ghost
is the enduement of power from on high upon the clean, sanctified life, and is evidenced by speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5-8; 2:1-4.
Divine Healing
of sickness is provided through the atonement.
James 5:14-16; 1 Peter 2:24.
The Second Coming of Jesus
will be just as literal and visible as His going away. Acts 1:9-11. There will be two appearances under one coming: First, to catch away His waiting Bride. Matthew 24:40-44; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17. Second, to execute judgment upon the ungodly. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Jude 14-15.
The Great Tribulation
will occur between Christ's coming for His Bride and His return in judgment. Isaiah 26:20-21; Revelation 9 and 16.
Christ's Millennial Reign
is the literal 1000 years of peaceful reign by Jesus on earth. Isaiah 11 and 35.
The Great White Throne Judgment
is the final judgment when all the wicked dead will stand before God. Revelation 20:11-15.
The New Heaven and the New Earth
will replace the present heaven and earth, which will be destroyed after the Great White Throne Judgment.
2 Peter 3:12-13; Revelation 21:1-3.
Eternal Heaven and Eternal Hell
are literal places of final destiny, each as eternal as the other. Matthew 25:41-46; Luke 16:22-28.
Marriage is for Life
a holy institution that is binding before God, giving neither partner liberty to marry again as long as the first companion lives. Mark 10:6-12; Romans 7:1-3.
Water Baptism
is by one immersion "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," as Jesus commanded.
Matthew 3:16; 28:19.
Restitution
is subsequent to salvation, wherein wrongs against our fellowmen are made right in order to have a clear conscience before God and man. Ezekiel 33:15; Matthew 5:23-24.
The Lord's Supper
is an institution ordained by Jesus so that we might remember His death until He returns.
Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23,26.
Washing the Disciple's Feet
