These teachings pertain to our salvation from sin!

1. We believe salvation is totally dependent of Jesus death on the cross and not on our own good works.  We cannot ever earn our way to heaven.  We must receive Jesus into our hearts and be "born again" as described in John 3 of the Bible.  Only Christ can make the change in our hearts and wipe clean the record of our sins.  Any attempt at "works salvation" or earning our own way is an act of pride that will fail.
     
2. We believe in a Second Definite Work of Grace when we allow the Holy Spirit to enter us in His fullness.  It took the Spirit to bring us to the point of salvation and it takes the Holy Spirit to fulfill our salvation.  Without the Holy Spirit we might be faltering and stumbling Christians.  But the Holy Spirit will come in, at our invitation, and cleanse us from the sinful nature of our race.  The Holy Spirit is a necessary friend and guide, not only for the individual Christian but for the church as a whole.
