(Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21)
4. Salvation of Man:Man's only hope of redemption is through Jesus Christ.
A/ This salvation comes by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and by confessing with your mouth Jesus as Lord.
(Romans 3:24, 10:8-10; Ephesians 2:8)
B/ The inward witness of the believer is the direct witness of the Spirit.
(Romans 8:16)
C/ The outward evidence to all men is a life of holiness and love.
(1 John 3:23; John 13:35)
5. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works are evidence of our faith and will determine our rewards in eternity. (Acts 16:3; Romans 10:9-10, 14:10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James 2:18)

9. All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to the command of Jesus Christ.
