What do you believe?
Many are decieved into believeing that all you have to do is believe and have faith to be saved, this is false doctrine. What does the bible say?
As Oneness Apostolics, we are NOT suggesting that we are not saved by grace through faith. Faith and grace are vital to salvation, but to teach belief alone as "whole salvation" is not scripturally founded. James said in his epistle, "even the demons believe and tremble!" (James 2:19) True belief will lead one to "believe upon Christ as the scripture has said," and thus receive "rivers of living water." Genuine faith in Christ will cause a soul to obey the whole gospel message of repentance and remission of sins in Acts 2:38. Therefore, true biblical faith leads to true repentance, true water baptism, and true Spirit baptism.
No where does the Bible give credence to the notion that belief or confession alone is whole salvation. However, belief and confession are vital elements that lead to whole salvation.
