Oneness Pentecostalism

===Grace and faith===
Oneness Pentecostals maintain that no good works or obedience to law can save anyone, apart from God's grace. Furthermore, salvation comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ; there is no salvation through any name or work other than his ([[Acts 4:12]]). Oneness teaching rejects interpretations that hold that [[Predestination|salvation is given automatically to the elect]]; they believe that all men are called to salvation, and "whosoever will, may come" ([[Revelation 22:17]]).<ref name=":8" /><ref name="Bernard Grace and Faith">{{cite book|last1=Bernard|first1=David|url=http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pentecostal/New-Ch2.htm|title=The New Birth|publisher=Word Aflame Press|chapter=Grace and Faith|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090318090455/http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pentecostal/New-Top.htm|archive-date=18 March 2009}}</ref>

While salvation is indeed a gift in Oneness belief, it must be ''received''.<ref name="Bernard Grace and Faith"/> This reception of salvation is generally what is considered conversion, and is accepted in the majority of evangelical Protestant churches. The first mandate is true faith in Jesus Christ, demonstrated by obedience to God's commands, and a determination to submit to his will in every aspect of one's life. Oneness adherents reject the notion that one may be saved through what they call ''mental faith'': mere belief in Christ, without life-changing repentance or obedience. Thus, they emphatically reject the idea that one is saved through praying the [[Sinner's Prayer|sinner's prayer]], but rather the true saving faith and change of life declared in scripture. Oneness Pentecostals have no issue with the prayer itself, but deny that it alone represents saving faith, believing the Bible accordingly mandates repentance, baptism by water and spirit with receipt of the Holy Spirit as a ''manifestation'' of the spirit part of the rebirth experience and the true, godly faith obeyed and done by the early Church believers. Thus, one who has truly been saved will gladly submit to the biblical conditions for conversion. According to these believers, Jesus and the apostles taught that the [[Born again (Christianity)|new birth]] experience includes repentance (the true Sinner's Prayer) and baptism in both water and God's Spirit.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bernard|first1=David|url=http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pentecostal/New-Ch12.htm|title=The New Birth|chapter=Those Who Profess Christ|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081230163246/http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pentecostal/New-Ch12.htm|archive-date=30 December 2008}}</ref>
