1.The Father, who is Spirit, infinite,
eternal, and unchangeable in all His attributes. (John 4:24; Exodus

saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost. (Matthew 25:46;

aspect comprising the whole body of those who have been born of the
spirit; and in its local expression established for worship, mutual
edification, and witness. (Ephesians 1:22,23; 5:25-32; Acts 15:41;
16,5)
H. Christ's Great Commission to go
into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, making
