Salvation Beliefs
Pentecostals believe that to receive
salvation and enter Heaven, you must
accept the teachings of Jesus as it states
in the Bible
You have to be born again to enter into
Heaven
Salvation is a gift received by grace
through faith
Salvation cannot be earned by doing good
deeds alone
Pentecostals believe that every person
who is born again will enter the Kingdom
of God and all are brothers and sisters in
Christ
 Pentecostals emphasize salvation
based on “Act 2:38 Then Peter said
unto them, Repent and be baptized
every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and he shall receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost.” King James
Version Bible, In John 3:3.5 “Jesus
answered unto him, Verily, Verily I
sat unto thee, except a man is
born again he cannot enter the
Kingdom of God” King James
version Bible.

Pentecostals
These can be divided into three groups (1) Love (charity), joy,
peace, Our God relationship (2) Patience, kindness, goodness: Our
relationship with people. {3} Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control:
Our inward relationship, attitudes and actions of the inner self. All
of these Fruits of the Spirit should characterize our lives when we
abide in Christ and Christ in us by the power of the spirit, for the
glory of the Father, for our own good, and the good of the church.
An important thing in any religion is having
faith, how do you keep faith in God when it
seems like everything around you is falling
apart. Sometime this is hard to do. My son
when he was eleven years old was hit by a
car. He was in the ICU for two months, and
then another three months in a rehab unit.
My son was hurt so bad I did not recognize
him. He cannot walk anymore because of this
accident, he is grown now. The Lord wanted
to take him but there were too many people
praying for him. Thank God he is still with
us. You can take God at his word when you
ask for something, believe it and receive it.
You can ask God for anything and if it is his
will you will receive it. Many people pray
only when something bad happens. You are
supposed to pray all the time. “If you have
faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say
to this mountain, move from here to there
and it will move.” King James Bible.

The most important
decision we make in life is
where we will spend
eternity. When we make
that choice we are not
only prepared to die but
finally ready to live.
