Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in

Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking
with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.

the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the
other to everlasting damnation.

new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness."
