clear knowledge of God and hts pur
poses and will respecting them.
AS we have already frequently set
| forth, both OF the described theories
are erroneous. The criptures set
forth two salvations. entirely separ-
ate and distinct. They are different
as respects time, IN that the one
salvation began to be spoken by our
Lord at his first advent, and began
to be applicable to his Church lat
Pentecost, and will wholly cease at
/ his Second Coming in the end OF this
Age. The other Salvation neither APP
Piled before our Lords First Advent
nor during this Gospel Age, but will
apply to- all mankind, except the
| Church, during the Millennium---the
thousand years of the reign Of Christ
and the Church, especially designed
for the blessing of the world and It's
uplifting out Of sin and death con9i-
| tons.
These two salvations are distinctly
different as to kind, as well as re-
spects their plan of operation. The
salvation of the Church during this
Gospel Age-since Pentecost-means
not only a. .deliverance from sin and
death conditions to eternal life, but
provides that the eternal life Will be
on the heavenly or spiritual plane
and not on the earthly or human plan
| Of existence. Thus the Apostle de-
clares that our nheritance is tneor-
ruptible and undefiled and fadeth not
away and is reserved in heaven for us
who are kept by the power of Goo
through faith unto salvation II Pet
ler i. 4-5) = Our Lord also told that
| in the resurrection we shall like UNI
| to the angels. The Apostle also de-
clares that ultimately we shall be
partakers Of the divine nature and
like our Lord and Redeemer, 4;
Hence, all that participate in this
salvation of this Gospel Age are Scrip
turally spoken Of as New Creatures
