If this is the case, one would have to reject the words of Jesus (as well as the words of many of the Apostles), correct Martha's answer and expectations concerning Jesus, and offer eternal life by some other means than "whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die". In other words, Jesus' salvation message, and promise of eternal life, was for just for a very very very short time period and was to be replaced by yet another message which resulted in eternal life for an individual. One cannot accept Jesus' words to Martha today and expect eternal life would be the result of following Him.
Within oneness Pentecostalism, dependent upon the teacher being a one stepper or a three stepper, certain salvation scriptures are offered as support for their salvation theology. So it is here.
