Oneness Pentecostals sometimes are accused of preaching salvation by works, particularly because they insist that full salvation includes water baptism. Often the person leveling the charge will cite Ephesians 2:8–9, where Paul wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

Dr. David K. Bernard responds to this accusation and examines what the Bible says about the connection between faith and obedience.

For a more in-depth exploration of this topic, see Dr. Bernard's book The New Birth, available at PentecostalPublishing.com.
