Systematic Theology

LEVEL I - Introductory Themes

• Free Will of Man - the ability to make choices independently, not predetermined by external forces.

• Free Will of Nature - the self-driven processes in nature, occurring without direct human control or predictable patterns.

• Free Will of God - His absolute sovereign ability to act according to His divine nature, wisdom, and purposes.

• Holy Spirit - the third person of the Trinity that guides, empowers, is a comforter and intercessor and provides insight.

• Redemption - is God’s act of delivering humanity from the bondage and penalty of sin through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, by which believers are bought back at a price and restored to a right relationship with God.

• Free Gift - God’s unearned grace given to humanity through Jesus Christ, offering salvation and eternal life not as a result of human effort or merit, but solely as an act of God’s love to be received by faith.

• Grace - is God’s unmerited favor by which He freely gives salvation, forgiveness, and new life to undeserving sinners, grounded entirely in His love and accomplished through Jesus Christ rather than human works.

• Works - the actions and behaviors that flow from human effort, which do not earn salvation but, in the life of a believer, serve as the outward evidence and fruit of genuine faith and obedience to God.

• Faith - is trusting and relying on Jesus Christ alone for salvation, involving belief in God’s promises and a personal dependence on Christ rather than on one’s own merit or works.

• Saved - to be saved is to be delivered by God from the guilt and power of sin and granted eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, securing a restored relationship with God by grace rather than by works.

• Called - refers to God’s initiative in inviting individuals into a saving relationship with Himself, through which He draws them by His grace to respond in faith to the gospel and become part of His redemptive purpose.

• If Not Called - refers to a person who has not responded to God’s gracious invitation to salvation, remaining outside a saving relationship with Him—not due to a lack of merit, but due to the absence of a response to God’s initiating grace through faith.

• Source of Origin - refers to God as the ultimate beginning and cause of all things, from whom creation, truth, salvation, and spiritual life proceed according to His will and purpose.

• Knowledge of a God - is the awareness and understanding of God’s existence, character, and will, revealed through creation, conscience, Scripture, and ultimately through Jesus Christ, and received by both revelation and faith.

• God Himself - refers to the self-existent, eternal, and unchanging being of God, who is the source of all life and truth, fully sufficient in His nature and perfectly revealed in His character and purposes.

• How to Pray - to pray is to communicate with God through humble reverence, faith, and dependence, approaching Him in sincerity to offer worship, confession, thanksgiving, and requests in alignment with His will. Prayers start off with “Dear God” followed by your communication with God and ending with Amen.

• God Answers Prayers - according to His will, wisdom, and timing, responding to the prayers of His people in ways that bring about His purposes, deepen faith, and glorify Him.

• Salvation - is God’s gracious work of rescuing humanity from sin and its consequences, accomplished through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and received by faith, resulting in forgiveness, new life, and eternal fellowship with God.

• Reward - refers to God’s gracious recognition of faithful obedience, service, and perseverance, granted not as a means of salvation but as an expression of His justice and generosity toward believers who live in faithfulness to Him.

• Progressive Heaven - refers to the unfolding experience of eternal life in which believers increasingly enter into deeper fellowship, joy, and reward with God, fully realized after death and ultimately perfected in the new heaven and new earth.

• Contrite Spirit - is a humble and repentant heart that recognizes its own sinfulness before God, sincerely grieves over sin, and submits fully to His mercy and restoring grace.

• Blessings and Curses - refer to the outcomes tied to obedience or disobedience to God’s will, where blessings reflect God’s favor, provision, and life-giving order, and curses reflect the consequences of rejecting His truth and ways.

• Heaven and Hell - are the final and eternal destinies of humanity, where heaven is the state of everlasting communion with God for the redeemed, and hell is the state of eternal separation from God resulting from the rejection of His grace and truth.

• Judgement Day - is the appointed time when God will justly evaluate every person, revealing all deeds and hearts, vindicating His righteousness, rewarding the faithful, and rendering final judgment in accordance with His truth and justice.

• Sin Committed - is the deliberate or willful act of disobedience against God’s revealed will, expressed through thoughts, words, or actions that fall short of His holiness and disrupt fellowship with Him apart from repentance and grace.

• Sin Omitted - refers to the failure to do what God requires, when a person knowingly neglects righteous action or obedience, thereby falling short of God’s will even without committing an overt wrongdoing.

• Atonement for Sin - is God’s provision through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, by which the penalty of sin is satisfied, reconciliation with God is made possible, and forgiveness is offered to all who believe.

  • Word of Wisdom - Supernatural wisdom enabling one to learn or do. Illuminated styles in business or church affairs. Guidance what and how to teach, interpret, apply, understand Scripture.

  • Word of Knowledge - Supernatural knowledge of facts. Supernatural revelation of what a Scripture means.

    Discerning of Spirits - To know what somebody else is thinking, or is like. To know if a prophecy is from God or not. Sense the presence of good and evil spirits.

• Power to Act:

  • Act of Faith - Given momentarily so one has no fear, and enables one with supernatural abilities to save life or property. Prevents what is happening from interfering with the will of God in the future. Peace and serenity in place of impending disaster.

  • Act of Healing - The healer is used by God. One who waits for the word of wisdom or knowledge to instruct him/her. May pray for healing without instruction as well.

• Power to Speak:

  • Prophecy - Foretells future to prove God, exhort or comfort and is detailed against all odds to know it’s from God. The prophet often receives by night dream, daydream, or that moment from God.

  • Tongues - The Holy Spirit in a person speaks an unknown language never known in any way to the speaker. Broken tongues are split, multiple dialects mixed perfectly, at times split by God to prevent the speaker from possibility of interpretation. Speakers may know it’s split. The Holy Spirit is speaking to God on our behalf.

  • Interpretation of Tongues - May be word for word, but normally is descriptive of what is being said instead. Interpretation is to edify a message to God, to the church or a person. The test of truth asks if the interpretation is contrary to doctrine, and if it is practical. If it does not edify, and it’s an exhortation or prophecy that does not edify, the Scriptures note that errors have caused great burdens. Promptly review it with your pastor beforehand.
