5. Regeneration
6. Effectual Calling
7. Justification

9. Sanctification
Turning now to General and Special Grace
God is Gracious
General Grace
Special Grace
1. God is Gracious
WE BELIEVE that God is gracious in his very nature.
Grace is that perfection of God in which he shows unmerited and even forfeited favour in a general way to all mankind and in a special way to the elect.
Grace Baptist Assembly 0.Baptist Affirmation of Faith 1966.
2. General Grace
There is that grace which is general, in that God is good to all.
It appears in the natural blessings which God showers upon all in this present life, in spite of the fact that man has forfeited them and is in a state of condemnation.
It is seen in all that God does to restrain the devastating influence and development of sin in the world, and to maintain and enrich the natural life of mankind in general.
It is entirely due to this general grace of God that human existence is possible and life bearable, useful and of value.
Grace Baptist Assembly Baptist Affirmation of Faith 1966.
3. Special Grace
Special grace is that which secures and brings salvation to the elect of God.
This is the crowning work of God’s grace and is manifest in the whole scheme of salvation and its application to the individual believer in his life here on earth and in eternal glory.
Thus it is that all true Christians owe everything to the grace of God.
