4.1 We believe that God commands each person to stop rebelling against Him and His ways, and to receive the salvation which He offers. Before an individual can be reconciled to God in this way, it is necessary for the Holy Spirit to work in his life. God opens his eyes so that he understands the truth of God’s word, changes his heart so that he welcomes it, and frees his will so that he can respond to it. Although this is God’s work, becoming a Christian is a free and responsible action on the part of the individual in whom God is working.
