At the very least, we should hold fast to these three points:
(1) once-saved-always-saved at initial salvation (preservation of the saints), and
(2) salvation comes by the grace of God given unto those who make a choice to give up and give in for Christ. This is what God longs for. In other words, we must refuse calvinism as not of God for God does not "stack the deck" and premake, predesign, or predetermine men for heaven nor hell, and
(3) premillennialism.
Act 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Act 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
