Predestination: God's choosing before time all who would be saved.
Election: God's choosing of all who would be saved.

Evangelism: The communication of the Gospel by which one can be saved (Matthew 28:19).
Faith: Belief and trust in the message of the Gospel (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Conversion: One's turning to God based on the Gospel (Acts 26:18).
Perseverance: One's continued true belief - remaining in the state of salvation (Jude 1:24).
Repentance: Changing one's mind from rejection of Christ to faith in Christ (Acts 26:20).
Justification: God's freeing of one from the penalty of sin - the pronouncement of "not guilty" on a sinner (Romans 5:9).
Sanctification: God's separation of one from the lure of sin (2 Timothy 2:21).
Glorification: God's final removal of all sin from the life and presence of one (in the eternal state) (Romans 8:18; 2 Corinthians 4:17).
