Give me one scripture that defends one-step theology.
ACTS 16:30-31
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

ACTS 16:30-31
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Michael,
There's one word in both those scriptures that stand out, "Believe." What's involved in believing (remember the Eunuch, he had to believe too)?

Go ahead and add to the scriptures, I kind of figured you would...........you asked for scripture, I posted them, word for word.
What next?

Mark 16:16 (KJV)
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned
Now we have one scripture to support the 2-step theory.

The scripture doesn't say whether is spoke in tongues at that moment or later.
But I have enough faith that Philip preached the complete plan of salvation.
What's funny is you can quote any scripture stating your saved after only repentance, or can you?
Here are a few . . .
Acts 2:21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 16:31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and

be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
2 Corinthians 7:10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented
of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no
flesh be justified.
Titus 2:11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Acts 15:11But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Romans 3:24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus:
