Passage

Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not in inherited cultural Catholic identity by birth or in a spirit's accumulated moral standing across past lives.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor received by faith; must be distinguished from Kardecism's doctrine of merit accumulated through moral effort across successive reincarnations.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Unmerited favor received by faith.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  Set apart for God and morally pure; applies to all believers, not only the canonized.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  CRITICAL: must be taught as the personal third Person of the Trinity, explicitly distinguished from Kardecist 'espíritos guias'/'mentores espirituais' and from Candomblé/Umbanda orixás and spirit guides invoked and incorporated by mediums — both are mainstream, organized religious frameworks in Brazil, not marginal folk belief.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  CRITICAL: NEVER reencarnação.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  CRITICAL: bodily, historical, once-for-all resurrection, sharply distinct from the mainstream Brazilian Spiritist doctrine of reincarnation.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy in this life, not a Kardecist doctrine of gradual purification across multiple incarnations.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy in this life, not the Kardecist doctrine of a spirit's gradual purification across multiple incarnations.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Risk of conflation with the Catholic category of 'vida consagrada' as a specially set-apart class, rather than the calling of every believer.
