By your belief you are adopted into God’s forever family and given the gifts of the Holy Spirit and eternal life.

- As a new member of the family of God you are to become a faithful Disciple of Christ, surrendering to Jesus Christ in service to God’s Kingdom on earth.
- As a Disciple you are called to be active in faith and grow in knowledge, wisdom and understanding of Jesus Christ and the Church.
- Say, “Praise be to Almighty God my God, the only God, who gives abundantly to those who are in God’s service.”

- Say, “May Almighty God guide and give me power, and I will be faithful to allow the Holy Spirit to produce the fruits of God through me.”
- The Church, by the direction of Almighty God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, will call you to a position of service. If the church does not call you to serve, you are called by Jesus to ministries of service.
- You will be given gifts of abilities by the Holy Spirit to add to your natural abilities. These gifts of ability will be given in response to your callings and in proportion to your fruit produced as a Disciple.
- The gifts of abilities must be used and developed under the teaching and direction of the Holy Spirit and other Disciples who have the gifts.
