Do you have to speak in tongues to be saved?

I don't like the word "saved". There is nothing wrong with the word, we have redefined what it means.
If you get saved you never have to do anything else for the rest of your life.

I don't need to pray every day- I'm Saved!
I don't need to live holy- I'm Saved!
I don't need to seek after God- I'm Saved!

Here's the rub.

You won't be doing those things to get saved. If you do those things and they are of any value to GOD, it will be only because of His Relationship with you and He decides that your actions are of value to Him.

For Oneness Pentecostals, salvation is all about us.

For the other Christians, salvation is all about Him.

Who has the more biblical view?

That's a mouthful and I feel that is very accurate. Many OPs don't even realize how dependent they are on their works to prove their salvation (my previous self included). Unfortunately, the other end of the spectrum has people claiming Jesus as their savior without any fruit to show for it.

I feel the "truth" is somewhere in between.
