11. Salvation and Holiness - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 11 According to Oneness Pentecostals, one cannot be saved unless they have repented, been baptised in Jesus’ name, and filled with the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues. Once a person has acted in faith by obeying these three steps, can they have assurance of salvation in the future life? The sad reality is no. There is a fourth component necessary for salvation, which the Jesus Name Pentecostal must continue to abide in. You ask, what is this fourth component? It is found in Hebrews Chapter 12, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness,...

10. Baptism in the Holy Spirit - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 10 Within mainstream Christianity, denominations differ in their understanding of what constitutes the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the initial evidence of receiving such. Some teach that the baptism of the Holy Spirit, accompanied by the witness of tongues, is not a gift that is in continuation. Despite these disagreements, this debate is an in-house one amongst the family of God on various sides of the orthodox spectrum. However, when discussing these issues with an Oneness Pentecostal, even if one were to lay aside the theological gulf that separates them in relation to...

9. Baptism in Jesus’ Name - Paul M. Williams
Bethesda Shalom
Part 9 For Jesus Name Pentecostals, except that a person is baptised in water, they cannot have their sins forgiven, since they believe that it is at baptism that God washes away the sins of the believer. Oneness Pentecostals are not alone in this; other cults, including the Church of Christ, believe the same, as also do the Roman Catholic Church. What distinguishes Jesus Name Pentecostals from other groups is their belief that baptism is effective only when it is performed in the name of Jesus. What evidence is there in the Word of God for such a belief? What about the...
info_outlinePart 5
When engaging with an Oneness Pentecostal, as with all cults, they have their favourite go-to passages that they hope will prove their case for the particular doctrine they are seeking to substantiate. Admittedly, as one gives ear to their arguments, they appear at first to be convincing. Obscure texts and isolated verses are lifted out of context; difficult verses to understand are presented as though they support the erroneous heresies being propagated. The man standing on the Word of God ought never to be afraid of the cultist. No matter how convincing his opponents' arguments may be against the historical position of orthodoxy, the man standing opposite has been labelled a heretic for a reason. He is a heretic because he has deviated from the straight path and turned aside to damnable doctrines against the clear testimony of Holy Scripture.
When dealing with the nature of God, Oneness Pentecostals have several passages that they hope to use for their own advantage. This fifth teaching aims to discover what these are and to offer a sound exegesis of the passages to refute the error of the Oneness understanding.
