Repentence, Regeneration, Justification, and Sanctification

Affirmation:
We believe all men have to repent of and confess their sins before God, and believe on the vicarious death of Christ Jesus before they can be justified before God. We believe in the Sanctification of the believer through the working of the Holy Spirit and in God's gift of Eternal Life to the believer. (Acts 4.25, Romans 5.16, 1 Corinthians 1.30, 1 Thessalonians 4.3)

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10.9 NLT

Under this doctrine we shall look at "how to be saved." This is an important question that naturally arises when we admit that man is depraved, fallen and needs a saviour. The topics under this heading include the definitions of the terms above, the relationship between faith and works with respect to the Christian and his salvation, the controversy over eternal security--that is, the once saved, forever saved? question.
