Passage

Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not caste, community, or the social-reform identity built around any single movement, however dignifying that movement has been for its members.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Warkari bhakti already has a devotional grace vocabulary (Vitthal's कृपा on the devotee), which makes this term feel too familiar; every occurrence must reinforce that grace is unearned and Christ-specific.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: कृपा already names devotional favor in Warkari bhakti (Vitthal's कृपा on a devotee), so it reads as familiar — every occurrence must make explicit that this favor is unearned and given through Christ alone, not cultivated through bhakti devotion.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  Set apart for God and morally pure; शुद्ध leans toward ritual purity rather than relational holiness.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  CRITICAL: never परमात्मा (Hindu Universal Self) or ब्रह्म (Brahman).

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  CRITICAL: NEVER पुनर्जन्म (Hindu rebirth) or पुनर्भव (the Buddhist technical term for the arising of a new configuration of aggregates after death, explicitly not the survival of a continuous self).

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  CRITICAL: bodily, historical, once-for-all.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy; not ritual purification, and not the self-directed ethical cultivation of the Buddhist Eightfold Path, however much the outward behavior may overlap.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy, distinct from ritual purification.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Must not be confused with Hindu sannyasa (world-renunciation) or with Buddhist monastic ordination; biblical separation is devotion to God while remaining fully engaged in daily life and community, which is in fact closer to the Warkari lay-devotional ideal than to renunciate asceticism.
