Mortification of the flesh
Mortification of the flesh is an act by which an individual or group seeks to mortify or deaden their sinful nature, as a part of the process of sanctification. In Christianity, mortification of the flesh is undertaken in order to repent for sins and share in the Passion of Jesus. Common forms of Christian mortification that are practiced to this day include fasting, abstinence, as well as pious kneeling. Also common among Christian religious orders in the past were the wearing of sackcloth, as well as self-flagellation in imitation of Jesus Christ's suffering and death.
Perfection chrétienne
La perfection chrétienne ou de sanctification complète (entire sanctification) est une doctrine théologique largement diffusée par le méthodisme, et tout particulièrement par le mouvement de sanctification qui en est issu. Elle affirme que les chrétiens qui vivent en union avec le Christ sont régénérés intérieurement et libérés du péché par la force du Saint-Esprit. C’est la « deuxième œuvre de la grâce », la première étant la justification (qui exonère le chrétien qui se repent du poids des fautes qu’il a commises).
Imparted righteousness
Imparted righteousness, in Methodist theology, is that gracious gift of God given at the moment of the new birth which enables a Christian disciple to strive for holiness and sanctification. John Wesley believed that imparted righteousness worked in tandem with imputed righteousness. Imputed righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus credited to the Christian, enabling the Christian to be justified; imparted righteousness is what God does in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit after justification, working in the Christian to enable and empower the process of sanctification (and, in Wesleyan thought, Christian perfection).
Cell group
The cell group is a form of church organization that is used in many Christian churches. Cell groups are generally intended to teach the Bible and personalize Christian fellowship. They are always used in cell churches, but also occur in parachurch organizations and other interdenominational settings, where they are usually referred to as such as Bible study groups. In Methodism, they are known as class meetings and are a means of grace; in Catholicism, they are known as basic ecclesial communities.
Protestantisme
Le protestantisme est l'une des principales branches du christianisme, avec le catholicisme et l'orthodoxie. Entendu largement, le protestantisme est l'ensemble des Églises issues de la Réforme. L'ensemble de ces Églises englobe des mouvements variés, tels les luthériens, presbytériens, réformés, anglicans, méthodistes... Il regroupe plus d'un tiers des chrétiens dans le monde, soit 900 millions de protestants, dont 300 millions dans les Églises directement influencées par la Réforme et 600 millions dans les nouvelles Églises protestantes, principalement évangéliques (dont l’anabaptisme, le baptisme et le pentecôtisme).
Église du Nazaréen

Elle est membre du Conseil méthodiste mondial. Son siège est situé à Lenexa, Kansas. Elle est fondée sous le nom de l'Église Pentecôtiste du Nazaréen en 1908 au Texas de la réunion de plusieurs petites églises wesleyennes. C'est en 1919 que l'Église prend le nom de l'Église du Nazaréen parce que le mot « pentecôtiste » avait acquis entre-temps une nouvelle connotation.
Decision theology
Decision theology is the belief of some evangelical denominations of Christianity, such as the Baptist and Methodist churches, that individuals must make a conscious decision to "accept" and follow Christ (be "born again", also known as experiencing the "New Birth"). In denominations of the Methodist tradition, after experiencing the New Birth (the first work of grace), ministers teach that believers should seek entire sanctification (the second work of grace).
Churches of Christ
The Churches of Christ, most commonly known as the Church of Christ or church of Christ, is a loose association of autonomous Christian congregations. The Churches of Christ are represented across the world. Typically, their distinguishing beliefs are that of the necessity of baptism for salvation and the prohibition of instruments in worship. Many Churches identify themselves as being nondenominational. The Churches of Christ arose in the United States from the Restoration Movement of 19th-century Christians who declared independence from denominations and traditional creeds.
Préservation conditionnelle des saints
La préservation conditionnelle des saints, ou la sécurité conditionnelle, est la conviction arminienne que les croyants sont préservés par Dieu dans la relation de salut avec lui, à la condition d'une foi persévérante en Christ. droite|vignette| Synode de Dordrecht Avant l'époque du débat entre calvinistes et arminiens au synode de Dordrecht (1618-1619), la vision de l'église primitive semblait être du côté de la .

Backsliding
Backsliding, also known as falling away or described as "committing apostasy", is a term used within Evangelical Christianity to describe a process by which an individual who has converted to Christianity reverts to pre-conversion habits and/or lapses or falls into sin, when a person turns from God to pursue their own desire. To revert to sin or wrongdoing, especially in religious practice, someone lapses into previous undesirable patterns of behavior.
