These vital points of New Testament doctrine are some of the prominent teachings of The Church of God. Not all Christian Church organizations teach these points of doctrine the same way. The Church of God accepts the whole Bible rightly divided and holds these sacred truths as they have been revealed in the Scriptures by the Holy Ghost. This is a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. Repentance is the act of turning from and forsaking sin.
Justification is a state and an act.
It is the state of being void of offense toward God by the act of God's forgiveness of the transgressions for which one has repented. Regeneration is an act of God performed in the justified heart whereby new, spiritual life is generated. Regeneration is simultaneous with the new birth. Also see, Matt. To be born again is to become a new creature in Christ and a child of God.
