The Great One-Step/Three-Step Debate
This forum has been famous for the great One-Stepper vs. Three-Stepper debate. Please allow me to describe an observation I have made about the whole issue.
I engaged in the debate myself a few months ago. And I personally narrowed it down to this dilemma:
1) One-Step teaching proposes that Holy Ghost baptism is not necessary for salvation but people should experience it anyway,
2) while Three-Step teaching proposes it is necessary.
And then there is this contrast:
1) One-Step doctrine teaches water baptism is not necessary for salvation, but it is nevertheless commanded,
2) while Three-Step doctrine proposes it is necessary for salvation.
Then TONGUES is in the midst of the debate as well. Should everyone speak in tongues if they claim they received the Holy Ghost?
Agreed?
