Can you explain to me how someone
obeys receiving a gift from someone? The issue is not whether someone believes one should repent and be baptized, but why they should do so. As for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, it´s a gift of spiritual empowerment given to those who walk in obedience to the Word of God not a requirement to enter into a relationship with God. We get that by grace through faith. If the PAJCers would get their theology straightened out it would resolve many of the problems in the UPCI.
