ABC’s Statement of Faith is fully articulated concerning the doctrine of salvation (Soteriology), as is the case with most evangelical churches. The complete process of salvation actually includes: (1) Justification (an event - salvation of the spirit); (2) Sanctification (a process - salvation of the soul); and (3) Glorification (an event - salvation of the body). What evangelicals commonly term “salvation” is Justification; it is the acceptance of Redemption through Christ Jesus; it happens at the same time as the Regeneration by the Holy Spirit and the Adoption by the Father.
