Well, I think we all believe Acts 2:38.

Acts 2:38 contains 2 commands and a promise:
Command 1 is to repent
Command 2 is to be baptized
The promise is the HGB (Holy Ghost Baptism) which is called the promise of the Father

We just believe justification/salvation/regeneration happens at different points.
Some believe it happens when command 1 has been completed. These are termed "one-steppers" on these forums.
Some believe it takes commands 1 and 2 and then the promise just happens automatically whether you realize it or not (We call these folks Campbellites).
Others believe a person is not saved/justified/born again until both commands have been completed and the promise has been received. We call these folks "three steppers."
