The Bible does not teach that God is a family name, with two God Beings in that family right now, and billions to come later. The Son of God is one of the three hypostases of the one God. Jesus forgave sins without having to perform a baptism. Tkach has taught that believers can lose their salvation by not being overcomers. And if we are not interested in overcoming, you can rest assured that salvation is not going to be there.
Salvation is a present possession.
However, it does not mean once saved always saved in any way, shape or form. If the Christian remains faithful and does not turn away from God, his salvation remains firm and secure. The two statements above do little to clear the muddy waters of doctrinal confusion they create. It would appear that the two factors that determine the state of justification for a member of the WCG are obedience and overcoming. However, Tkach spoke to a large gathering of WCG ministers and members in Atlanta, Georgia on December 17, 1994.
