The Basic Five

1. The Trinity: God is one "What" and three "Whos" with each "Who" possessing all the attributes of Deity and personality.

2. The Person of Jesus Christ: Jesus is 100% God and 100% man for all eternity.

3. The Second Coming: Jesus Christ is coming bodily to earth to rule and judge.

4. Salvation: It is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

This concerns our adoption;

...to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. Eph 1:5

Also this concerns His choice;

In him we were also chosen (kleroo-to choose by lot)...according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will..Eph 1:11

And the next verse goes on to say;

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Or to put it in other words that Paul used;

He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Php 1:6

The sounding of the trumpets and cymbals and for the playing of the other instruments for sacred song. 1Ch 16:42
