Theology - The Doctrine of Holiness The Apostle taught the doctrine of “HOLINESS” Holiness is an important doctrine in this study of the final steps of the doctrines of salvation. Holiness is a requirement for men to be saved” (Hebrews 12:14). The Church is A Spiritual life. We are teaching that the apostle taught Christianity is lived from the spirit. A spirit filled life, controlled and dominated. The New Testament Church was born on the Day of Pentecost, baptized in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4). The process of the Church of Jesus Christ living and abiding in the spirit of God is not instantaneous, and requires sometimes years of teaching, preaching through development and study for the body of the church to come to its full development of holy living. But it must be realized that until holy living is accomplished, we cannot live the victorious life, which is now ours through our union with Jesus Christ, the founder of our church. All that Christ is in His Word now and future is available to us only as we cease from our own understanding, strivings, sins and rest upon all that He has made possible for us through Him and His new life in us. It is the Holy Spirit (many refer to as the Holy Ghost) inside the Believer that continues to create in us the hunger and thirst for more of the life of Christ. A life of Holiness and holy living must be attained. It is a second work of God’s grace. Holiness comes after salvation. Religion, denominationalism, or traditional disputes are all unimportant when Christ reigns in the heart with truth, sincerely and righteousness. Disputes, such as, “my church is better than yours because it’s bigger; one religion better than the others because we are of this group or another; or these are my people (as many leaders of the church so claim among God’s people)” all hold lesser concern when we understand the biblical directives of our Lord concerning His people. A true foundation and mission of the church and how Christ is in union with us and how we can better learn to cooperate with His plan, purpose, and mission of His Church is the desire of leaders and those who wants to do His will. We must work out our souls salvation, in our minds, and bodies so we can come into total harmony with our true place as children of God in His Kingdom. Holiness is Harmony The greatest institution of this age is the church of the living God – a universal church of unbroken continuity in every century and in every land. A church of holiness and righteousness, bound with the truth, which binds us together. In spite of doctrinal differences, it is our faith and loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ that truly builds His kingdom among men.
