Romans 12

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not national, cultural, or nominal-Catholic heritage identity.

  ROM.12.5

• Glossary Term

  Church

  Capitalized 'l'Église' strongly denotes the institutional Catholic Church in ordinary usage.

  ROM.12.4-5

• Doctrine

  Church as God's People

  New covenant community, not the institutional 'Église' alone; French Protestants historically reserve 'église' for the body and 'temple' for the building, a distinction worth preserving in teaching.

  ROM.12.4-5

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Must not collapse into monastic withdrawal from the world; biblical separation is devotion to God while remaining engaged in ordinary life.

  ROM.12.1-2

• Doctrine

  Spiritual Gifts

  Charismatic Catholic renewal and cessationist-leaning Reformed streams read this vocabulary differently; keep gifts explicitly Spirit-given, not natural talent.

  ROM.12.6-8

• Glossary Term

  Spiritual Gifts

  Charismatic Catholic renewal (Renouveau charismatique) and Reformed cessationist-leaning traditions read gifts language differently; keep the phrase Spirit-attributed, not natural-talent language.

  ROM.12.6-8
