C. Glorification is the culmination of salvation and is the final blessed and abiding state of the redeemed. God's Purpose of Grace Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. It is consistent with the free agency of man. It is a glorious display of God's sovereign goodness, and is infinitely wise, holy, and unchangeable. It excludes boasting and promotes humility.
All true believers endure to the end.
Those whom God has accepted in Christ, are sanctified by His Spirit, will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end. Believers may fall into sin through neglect and temptation, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, bring reproach on the cause of Christ, and temporal judgments on themselves, yet they shall be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ and is commissioned to continue the ministry Jesus started. Those who are part of the local church are believers who have been baptized into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are under scripturally delegated authorities, and assemble for praise, worship, ministry and the preaching and teaching of the word.
