Doctrine
Christian Identity in Christ
Identity located in union with Christ, distinct from national, ethnic, or religious identity markers that carry unusually high personal and social cost to depart from in the Iranian context.
ROM.6.1-11

Doctrine
Grace
Feyz's Persian philosophical loading (divine emanation, an automatic ontological overflow) must be corrected toward a freely willed, personal gift secured through Christ, apart from merit.
ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15
-
Glossary Term
Grace
Feyz carries a distinct Persian philosophical loading: in Illuminationist and Mulla Sadra's Transcendent Theosophy, 'feyz' denotes divine emanation - being automatically overflowing from God into creation, a metaphysical process rather than a freely willed, unmerited gift.
ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15
-
Glossary Term
Holy
Shared root with Arabic; generally safe vocabulary, needs the relational, Spirit-wrought sense reinforced over ritual-observance holiness.
ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22
-
Glossary Term
Holy Spirit
CRITICAL: identical Quranic phrase and identical mainstream tafsir identification with the angel Jibril (Gabriel) as in Arabic - the same created-being-versus-divine-Person distinction must be made explicit at every occurrence.
ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22
-
Glossary Term
Resurrection
CRITICAL: shares the Quran's crucifixion-denial problem (4:157) with Arabic.
ROM.6.4-5
-
Doctrine
Resurrection of Christ
CRITICAL: shares the Quran's crucifixion-denial (4:157) with Arabic; Shia eschatology's Mahdi-centered expectation further subordinates Jesus's own resurrection and return to a supporting role at the Hidden Imam's reappearance.
ROM.6.4-5

Doctrine
Sanctification
The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy, not ritual purification.

Sanctification

Doctrine
Separation unto God's Service
Must not be confused with Sufi zuhd (world-renunciation) practiced in Persian mystical tradition; biblical separation is devoted engagement with the world, not withdrawal from it.
