Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, 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.

A. 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 Saviour.

B. 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.

C. 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.

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