Part 7

When one encounters a suspected cult member, one of the surest ways to ascertain whether they are sound in faith is to ask a simple but effective question: What must I do to be saved? If the answer to this question is not that of Paul and Silas, then one can be almost certain that one is speaking to a cult member. How did Paul and Silas answer the Philippian jailer? "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31). No matter the cult, every last one will deny that salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. When one asks a Jesus Name Pentecostal, "What must I do to be saved?" It should come as no surprise that they cannot answer as Paul and Silas since they are a cult.

For Oneness Pentecostals, salvation is not as simple as placing faith in Jesus Christ. Other components are also required, including repentance, baptism in Jesus name, receiving the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues and holiness of life.
