What We Believe As Baptist

Week #7 What We Believe About Salvation

Power Point

 

We come today to the doctrine of salvation.

The theological term is “Soteriology”.

The word ology always means the study of.

The word Soteriology comes from the two Greek words.

“Soter,” meaning to save or deliver.

And “logos,” which simply means word.

Thus, Soteriology is simply a word or study about salvation.

 

Article 4: Salvation

“Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christa s Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

 

 

  1. Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God’s grace, whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance and faith are inseparable experiences of grace. Repentance is a genuine turning from sin toward God. Faith is the acceptance of Jesus Christ and commitment of the entire personality to Him as Lord and Savior.

 

  1. Justification is God’s gracious and full acquittal upon principles of His righteousness of all sinners who repent and believe in Christ. Justification brings the believer unto a relationship of peace and favor with God.

 

 

  1. Sanctification is the experience, beginning in regeneration, by which the believer is set apart to God’s purposes, and is enabled to progress toward moral and spiritual maturity through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him. Growth in grace should continue throughout the regenerate person’s life.

 

 

  1. Glorification is the culmination of salvation and is the final blessed and abiding state of the redeemed.”
