Jesus Christ
Jesus was virgin born, lived a sinless life, was the substitutionary blood atonement, had a bodily resurrection and ascension, and will physically return, before the tribulation, to gather all the saved, from the ends of the earth to Himself.

Salvation
Salvation of sinners is wholly by grace, a free gift available to all by faith, and is evidenced by repentance and newness of life. The redeemed are kept by the power of God, through faith, unto eternal life and the lost into everlasting punishment.
