Hmm. Let's see.
I believe in:
1. The remission of sins comes by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone.
2. Baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and The Holy Ghost as Jesus commanded. (I don't believe the Apostles actually differed from Jesus on this. I think the rendering in the book of Acts was descriptive rather than prescritive, meaning that they were merely baptizing people into the body of Christ and not in the name of Christ as opposed to the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost which is baptizing them in Jesus name because you are baptizing them in the name of the Son. Even if the apostles differed with Jesus on this, I would rather side with Jesus.)
3. The sanctifying work of the Spirit as a second work of grace.
And...
4. The baptism in the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking in other tongues.
In that order.
