Re: Bombshell- Considering going back to the UPC
I believe that salvation by grace through faith is completely compatible with water baptism in Jesus name, a Spirit filled life, and holiness unto the LORD.
If someone truly has saving faith (living faith of James 2) that faith will be given expression, both in water baptism, and in a life which bears the fruit of the Spirit.
