       The Great Salvation—Contents

       Author's Preface

       Part One: What it is and how to obtain it.

       1. It does make a difference what we believe

       2. There is only one Gospel that will save

       3. We must believe in the true God

       4. God is not a Trinity of persons, but One God

       5. Jesus Christ–Son of God by begettal, Son of man by birth

       6. The Holy Spirit not a person, but the effluence proceeding from God.

       7. The nature of man–mortal, a creature of the dust.

       8. Man dies, and is dead after he has died

       9. In death man is unconscious

       10. Resurrection the means of future life for the dead

       11. Immortality the gift of God to the righteous only

       12. Life as now possessed is not eternal, but a vapor that soon passeth away

       13. Everlasting life not a present possession, but a matter of hope

       14. The wicked and depraved who are not amenable die and remain dead

       15. The wicked who are responsible of the dead and living will be destroyed after judgment

       16. The soul not immortal, but is the mortal, bodily being called man

       17. Many learned men deny the immortality of the soul

       18. The spirit of man not an immortal entity, but the word is used for life, mind and disposition

       19. Immortality is God’s holy nature; the word “immortal” is never applied to man in his present state

       20. Eternal life is not a present actual possession, but is promised to the righteous only

       21. The wicked will not be preserved alive in torture, but will be destroyed

       22. Hell as employed in the Bible does not mean a place of eternal torture, but the grave and Gehenna

       23. The devil is not a personal monster dwelling in “hell” and yet everywhere present tempting all men, but is sin in the flesh

       Part Two

       24. God has promised to bless and fill the earth with His glory

       25. The earth is to be the everlasting inheritance of the righteous not heaven

       26. The Gospel as embraced in the promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is that the righteous through Christ shall inherit the earth for ever

       27. The promises to Abraham have never been fulfilled

       28. The seed in whom the Abrahamic promises are to be fulfilled is Christ

       29. God covenanted with David to establish a universal, glorious and everlasting kingdom on earth

       30. The covenant with David will be fulfilled in Christ’s possession of David’s restored throne

       31. The fulfillment of the covenants with Abraham and David involves the restoration of the twelve tribes under Christ.

       32. There will be a personal and literal return of Christ to the earth

       Part Three

       33. In Christ only can we obtain redemption

       34. Baptism is one of the conditions of salvation

       35. It is our duty after baptism to obey the commandments of Christ

       Part Four: Objections Answered

       Part Five: Who will “Meet the Lord in the air?”
