Untangling A Works-Based Pentecostal Faith

Join us in a conversation Brother Jason had with a student at the University of Texas Dallas named Josh, a recent convert, as we delve into his beliefs and what his church was feeding him. He identified as being part of a Pentecostal denomination church. The dialogue unfolds that to make it to Heaven, he shares that it was shared with him that you must be saved, water baptized, Holy Spirit-filled, and speak in tongues—which each step would apparently determine one's destination and level in Heaven. Deconstructing This Idea of Faith Plus Works Brother Jason guides the conversation, shifting the focus towards a discussion on the clarity of the Gospel—faith alone in Christ alone. As he engages in this conversation, he exposes the pitfalls of a works-based salvation. Josh's initial adherence to this doctrinal belief that he loosely held prompts a further question of where true biblical trust must be placed—within our actions or in the finished work of Christ?
