Oneness Pentecostals believe God is calling the church back to the teachings and practices of the New Testament, including the plan of salvation proclaimed in Acts 2:38. But what about the many Christians throughout history who demonstrated sincere faith and devotion without repenting, being baptized in Jesus’ name, and receiving the Holy Spirit according to this pattern? Does a restorationist view imply that they are eternally lost?

In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard addresses this important and deeply personal question by examining salvation as a process and exploring the roles of faith, obedience, mercy, and divine judgment. He also considers how biblical principles of judgment apply both to professing Christians and to those who have never heard the gospel.
