Seed Doctrine
The Two Spiritual Families
Humanity is spiritually distinguished between the children of God and the children of the devil. Membership in God's family is not attained through mere human decision, religious profession, denominational affiliation, or ritual, but through the regenerating work of God's Spirit; the distinction is spiritual and moral rather than racial or biological.

Misconceptions We Reject
- The distinction refers to biological descent or race
- Satan possesses creative power equal to God
- A person becomes God's child merely through baptism or denominational membership
- The doctrine permits believers to identify particular individuals as irredeemable
- Human beings cease to bear moral responsibility because regeneration is God's work
