I know Apostolics who would disagree with you concerning the bolded.
Nevertheless, where I depart from my Apostolic upbringing is the conclusivity that speaking in tongues is THE ONLY MARKER that designates the begining of salvation.
There have been some great points brought up, but no one who believes the initial tongues doctrine can explain away the Phillipian jailer or the Ethiopian.
Please, MFBLUME address these two clear cases, when you have the time.
Furthermore, where are these "holes" that someone suggested was in the
"one-stepper" doctrine?
I believe I can plug those "holes" using nothing but scripture in a way where the scriptures are presented clearly and without some unique interpretation that would require that one catch a "revelation" to understand.
After all, I am not sure in the likelihood of a fool catching any revelation, yet GOD gives hope even for the fool-- without understanding a "revelation."
