CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I believe that all men are sinners. [I think that this statement
should be qualified to read: "I believe that all men are sinners BEFORE
BEING BORN AGAIN," or some such qualifier indicating that true
Christians are not now sinners. -- DVM]

2. I believe that God the Father loves all men.

3. I believe that Jesus Christ died for all men, to make possible their
salvation from sin, and to make sure the salvation of all who believe in
Him.

4. I believe that the Holy Spirit is given to all men, to enlighten and
to incline them to repent of their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ.

5. I believe that all who repent of their sins and believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ receive the forgiveness of sin. (This is Justification.)

6. I believe that all who receive the forgiveness of sins are at the
same time made new creatures in Christ Jesus. (This is Regeneration.)

7. I believe that all who are made new creatures in Christ Jesus are
accepted as the children of God. (This is adoption.)

8. I believe that all who are accepted as the children of God may
receive the inward assurance of the Holy Spirit to that fact. (This is
the Witness of the Spirit.)

9. I believe that all who truly desire and seek it may love God with all
their heart and soul, mind and strength, and their neighbors as
themselves. (This is Entire Sanctification.)

10. I believe that all who persevere to the end, and only those, shall
be saved in heaven forever. (This is the true Final Perseverance.)

Refining fire, go through my heart;

Illuminate my soul;

Scatter thy life through every part,

And sanctify the whole.

My steadfast soul, from falling free,

Shall then no longer move,

While Christ is all the world to me,

And all my heart is love.

-- Charles Wesley.
