Bro. Goss and others were certain they DID believe the New Birth message, and for the PAJC brethren to merge there had to be an alignment of thought that went deeper than the Oneness of the Godhead.
The saving message is belief, repentance, baptism in the Name, and the Spirit infilling...something they ALL believed.
Their differing opinion was at what point the New Birth took place, however, this did not prevent them from calling each other "brother."
If it were only so today...

In truth they did not believe that. I have the 75th Anniversary Book of the First Church at Corinth, Ms. it has a record of their services in their early years and their own records state such a number got saved, others baptised and a number for HGBs. Nearly the whole PCI bunch taught salvation at repentance and mocked the idea
Acts 2:38 was
Jn. 3:5! Witherspoon had to play word gymnastics to find a meeting ground on the fundamental doctrine.
FULL NT salvation is??????????????????
However PCI men did fervently preach baptism in Jesus Name and the Holy Ghost baptism something their decendants do not do.
