From my understanding that's what the PCI men called the PAJC brethren back years ago because PAJC believed in the 3 steps of Salvation, repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and the in filling of the Holy Ghost speaking with tongues; hence 3 steppers.

I've been in Oneness Pentecostalism my entire life, and never heard of "seven steppers" ...

Everybody is somebody's charismatic.

The number seven indicates perfection and symbolizes completeness or wholeness. In this Bible study we show the necessity of these basic seven progressive steps of salvation. Without all of the seven steps there is no salvation.

Maybe they reduced the requirements for folks from Alabama, kind of a "Salvation for Dummies; How to get saved in three easy steps."

I never really heard the terms "three-stepper" and "one-stepper" until becoming familiar with forums (or is it "fora") like this.

To make peace, why don't you go through and decide which four of the seven steps you don't need to be saved.

There's an exception to every rule, and a gifted child in every class. Looks like you won the state lottery.

Some charismatics watch television, other charismatics entertain themselves with the Internet. If you're reading this on a video display, you're somebody's charismatic.

Are you asking us to each declare publicly whether we are one, three, four, seven or whatever steppers so we can publish a list? or two lists? Then we can line the two lists up side by side and see how many are on each list.

I think a lot of folks (preachers and Apostolic Pentecostal church members) believe down inside that some folks will go to Heaven who have not been baptized in Jesus' Name and/or who have not spoken with tongues but they are afraid to admit it publicly.

I think most, if not all, of us here believe in, preach, and practice Acts 2:38. We just believe that justification/forgiveness/salvation/regeneration occur at different points in the two commands and one promise of that verse.
