Passage

Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not clan (paris) lineage, village ritual-community standing, or Adivasi ethnic identity as such.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor must be distinguished from the reciprocal offering-and-exchange logic (dan) central to Sarnaism's relationship with the bongas, in which favor and protection are secured through proper ritual observance.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: a provisional descriptive compound ('given without needing to be earned') is required, since Sarnaism's ritual life is structured around dan (offerings) made to bongas at the jaher to secure protection and avert misfortune -- a reciprocal, exchange-based logic.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  pobitro (a shared regional loanword) conveys moral purity and being set apart for God.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  CRITICAL: pobitro atma must always be used in full.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  CRITICAL: a provisional descriptive phrase ('rising alive again from death') rather than a single fixed technical term, reflecting the thinner translation tradition.

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

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

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy; not the ritual purification a Naeke performs before jaher sacrifices.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  The Spirit's ongoing work of making believers holy, distinct from the ritual purification a Naeke performs before jaher sacrifices.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Must not be confused with the ritual restriction (saga) placed on the jaher grove itself or on a person during ceremonial preparation.

  ROM.6.22
