I'm still waiting for our three step friend to tell me which four we can cross off the salvation list.
Acts 2:38 which is no doubt the ORIGINAL plan of Salvation makes only mentions of 3 steps. Repentance, water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the in filling of the Holy Ghost.
So keep the 3 steps mentioned in Acts 2:38 and you can toss the other four.

Do you believe that a life of holiness is essential to salvation?

If so, how is that not a fourth step?
Oh there are MANY aspects of living for God after the fact one has obeyed the 3 steps. I most certainly believe in Holiness, and it being essential to one's making Heaven their home.
However Acts 2:38 didn't mention Holiness standards ... remember what the LIBS say about new converts "Now we can't scare them off by mentioning Holiness standards, we got to get them in first ..." which is true, but Acts 2:38 is the 3 steps of one's being apart of the body of Christ (Church)
Why, thank ya kindly. I didn't know who Simeon Young (Sr or Jr) was until I did a little searching. Very good article you posted there. Can ya tell me where its from? The PH?
Bro. Young wrote a pamphlet, a mini-book if you will, several years ago.
I heard this term when I was younger, people referred to us as "3 Steppers" supposedly we got this name from the PCI years ago .... any "3 Steppers" out there?
All the guy did was ask a simple question. Yes, I'm a 3 stepper and 7 stepper, and a many more stepper, and sometimes I stop stepping and wait on the Lord. and I refuse to be stepped on!
ARPH ..............With 4 legs I step twice as fast too

I am too, not ashamed to say it and not confused about it.
I believe the scriptures (not just one) are very clear on the matter.
