Passage

Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in personal union with Christ, not in religious-communal identity, sectarian affiliation, or philosophical self-recognition.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Must be distinguished from mainstream Islamic deeds-weighing mercy AND from Kashmir Shaivism's shaktipat (the awakening of divinity already dormant within a person) -- two distinct wrong frames, not one.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: فضل (an Arabic-derived term for favor/grace, attested in Islamic vocabulary) must be explicitly taught as unearned favor apart from human merit, guarding against two distinct wrong frames at once.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  پاک (a Persian-derived term shared with Islamic religious vocabulary) conveys moral purity and being set apart for God.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  CRITICAL: پاک روح must always be used in full.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  CRITICAL: a descriptive phrase ('coming back to life from the dead') is required rather than a single technical term.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  CRITICAL: mainstream Sunni interpretation of Quran 4:157 holds Jesus was not crucified at all ('it was made to appear so'), directly denying the historical event Romans 1:4 and 4:25 depend on -- a doctrine many Kashmiri Muslim readers will know explicitly.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing moral transformation, not ritual ablution (wuzu) before prayer, and not Trika disciplines aimed at recognizing already-present purity.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy, distinct from ritual purification (wuzu) before Islamic prayer and from Trika spiritual disciplines aimed at recognizing one's own already-present purity of consciousness.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Must not be confused with the Sufi ascetic withdrawal practiced within the Rishi tradition, nor with Trika spiritual disciplines aimed at recognizing one's already-present purity.

  ROM.6.22
