Salvation is by Grace, through the Blood
of Jesus Christ.
The believer who has given his life to Christ is, at that time,
born into the universal Body of Christ, and is, at that time,
given the Holy Spirit.
The gifts to the Body are in operation today, and are exercised
as God wills. No gift is to be sought, except love. The gifts
are brought out in the function of the Body as the believers
embrace the cross, and are filled with the Word of God. This
results in much prayer, discernment, and the laying down of lives
for one another. In this way only is the Holy Spirit free to
operate the Body of Christ in Biblical order.
Though we teach that the rapture will occur before the tribulation,
(the tribulation occurring before the millennium) and espouse
rightly dividing the Word of Truth, we see in the Word that these
things should not interrupt love between brothers.
When one is born into God's family, one cannot be unborn There
are those cases that we do not understand, but we leave them
to the Lord.
Lastly, the believer must memorize God's Word, must be trained
to be faithful in prayer, and must be trained by the Holy Spirit
to lead others to Christ. If one does not have an acute awareness
that the lost are doomed, he must be discipled, loved and taught
to intimately know Jesus Christ so that he can be used by the
Lord, and learn to have his home in heaven and to live as an
alien in this life.
