THE WORD ONE Both Trinitarians and Oneness believe there is one God. But it is how we define it that makes the difference. The Oneness teaching takes all the Scriptures that say God is one and purposely ignore the statements of Jesus and the gospel writers that speak of two or three persons of the Godhead. In the Old Testament teachings were focused on God being one in contrast to the polytheism of the nations that surrounded Israel. There are statements that speak of the plurality of this ONE God in the Old Testament record. However, it is only when we come to the New Testament that this one in unity is explained. Bernard writes that the word apparently can mean both one in unity and one numerically for Strong's defines it as "united, one, first." He then gives just a few examples to prove that we should choose its meaning to be an absolute one.(Oneness of God, pp.152-153) Bernard finds a few examples contrary to the plural meaning which in no way is exhaustive. However the context determines the meaning. In the Old Testament God is described as one. Duet.6:4 says, "Hear, O Israel: LORD our God is one: what Oneness does is camp on this passage, milking it till the cows come home. The phrase "one Lord" is preceded in the Hebrew by elohenu; it is our God is one. The word for one is not a numerical one but is actually a united one. The Hebrew word for one is echad, which comes from the root word achad, which means to unify or collect together (the intensive reflexive form signifying to unite). If this was meant to be a strict numerical statement the Holy Spirit would have had Moses use the word yachid, which means a absolute one, single, only one. Yachid is used twelve times in the Scriptures NOT ONCE is it used for Jehovah God. Despite all the explanations we can see they fail in light of the consistent usage of the word one throughout. The Bible defines how the word one is used. Gen.1:5 evening and morning are called one day ( a combination of two parts to make one) they are both considered a day yet we can distinguish them as different phases. Gen. 2:24 Adam and Eve become one flesh (Here two personalities who come together in marriage and are one, not one person but in unity. God sees them as one even though they are not physically fused together like Siamese twins. If we take the Oneness view this would be the only consideration for our understanding. Gen.11:6 the people are one Ezra 2:64 the whole assembly of Israel is like one. Num. 13:23 according to their view When the spies went over into the land of Canaan they brought back one grape (Heb. eschal echad.) Thats one big grap ! Can anyone actually think it was a numerical statement. It means a cluster of grapes. Ps.133:1 the brethren is to dwell as one ( in unity) 1 Sam.3:17 they are called one company 2 Sam. 2:25 one troop 1 kings 7:42 one tribe 1 Kings 11:13 Israel is called one nation. Ez. 37:17 Ezekial is told to put two sticks together and combined they become one stick. Showing the nation would be unified. In all these examples can anyone find them to be a strict singular meaning ? This same word is applied to the one God and is clearly used as a compound unity. You can twist and turn at the truth of the matter , you can be uncomfortable in its teaching but you can’t remove its consistent usage in the scripture. The word for a strict single is yachid it is used in Gen.22:2 "Take thy one and only son." This can also be used for Gods only son being unique and one of a kind. PLURAL STATEMENTS OF GOD IN THE N.T Vs.20 "I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you in vs.23 he speaks in a plural ... and we will come to him and make our home with him. Is the humanity of Christ going to make its home in us! This is one of the few times Jesus speaks in a plural context to explain his unity with both the Father and the Holy Spirit. Essentially the word one is describing the being of God while we have other statements that describe the persons of God (not human persons but distinct identities). There is not conflict unless someone disregards one or the other. Jn.17:21 Jesus prays that they all may be one, as you Father are in me , and I in you , that they also may be one in us." In the New Testament there is a Greek equivalent to the Hebrew word for one. In Mt.19:5 Jesus quotes Gen.2:24 about a husband and wife becoming one flesh; the word used is hen. Jesus prays that as believers we will be one even as ( Gr. kathos; according as, just as, even as) he and the Father are one. He did not mean our persons would be fused together, it means spiritually united. The God of the Old Testament is a united one. The God of the New Testament is a united one. This is what is meant by God being one. Jn.10:30 "I and my Father are one," this is not numerical; Jesus is not saying he is the Father. They are not one person, but in nature they are unified. It actually reads "we are one" in Greek the first person plural esmen means‘ we are.’ Again this is a unity in nature not a numerical statement The word one in Greek is Hen and it is a neuter nominative so it refers to one in essence and nature, and kind. That he is deity just as the Father is. He went on to explain he is the Son of God and the Pharisees understood his claim of making himself out to be equal with the Father. Eph. 2:18 " Through Christ we both have access to the Father, by one Spirit." Here we have three distinct persons involved in our relationship to God. Christ the person (God/man) has made it possible, the Spirit who is the means of access and the Father who is the object. The scripture uses "we" both in relation to the Jews and gentiles, two people groups. These same words are used also of the Son and the Father showing they are two different persons. 2 Cor. 13:14 "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all". Here again are all three mentioned why make distinctions if they are all the same person. There are numerous illustrations in the O.T. of the three being one. For example there is a tradition even today as the Jew’s say the S’hma Deut.6:4 it is broken up into three segments each repeated three times while the last word one is said only once, indicating unity. Isaiah when he saw the Lord in his temple Isa.6 said, "holy, holy, holy,". Also in Rev. 4:8 it describes the angels saying it thrice day and night, showing it is a set pattern in heaven where God dwells. Yet more times than not God is represented as the Holy one of Israel. In Numbers 6:24 we find a thrice fold blessing with the title Lord. Num 6:24-27 "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." "So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them." In like manner 2 Cor.13:14 states" The grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all." Here we see all three mentioned as a unit. While this cannot emphatically prove tri-unity it does show there was this concept that is not foreign to the scriptures.

Appreciative for one more day of hearing the Lord’s Word. Saints, please keep Apostle Pastor Jennings, Minister Williams and all of the TOG Ministry in your prayers. May the Lord bless and keep all who have died in this life for the Lord. Peace unto all.
1. Where in the Scripture does it say that God is unitarian? (or that God exist as one Person?) If God is unitarian, how do you explain passages such as Genesis 19:24 where Yahweh (“LORD”), rained brimstone and fire from the Yahweh out of heaven? If God is unitarian, why are there so many plural descriptions in the OT (viz. plural nouns, adjectives, and verbs) to describe God? If God is unitarian, why is it that there are so many places in the Bible where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are clearly distinguished from each other in the same verse? If Jesus is the Father, why is it that Jesus is explicitly referred to as “the Son” over two hundred times in the New Testament, and never once is he called “Father? If the “Son” has not eternally existed with (personally distinct from) the Father why then is the Son presented as the Agent of creation, that is, the Creator? (for in Oneness theology only Jesus as the “Father” mode existed prior to Bethlehem). If the Son did not eternally exist with the Father as a distinct Person why is it that the “Son” can say, “Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had [eichon, or “shared”] with You before the world was” (emphasis added)? Thus, how did the Son have (literally, actively “possessed”) glory with (para) the Father before time if the Son did not exist before Bethlehem? If the Son did not eternally exist with the Father as a distinct Person why is it that the “Son” is said to be “sent” from the Father “out of heaven”? If Oneness doctrine is biblically true, why then do the biblical authors use grammatical features that personally distinguish between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? If Oneness doctrine (or Modalism) is the so-called doctrine of the apostles, then, why was it universally condemned as *heretical* by the early church Fathers (some of who were disciples of the original apostles) and condemned by all the important church councils and creeds?
I am now Tarrying for the Holy Ghost it's tough but I'm selfish for my Lord and I want him for myself so I stand longer shout louder and more over more and more each day I keep going back everyday until he moves on me, he quicken my spirit and changed it for that time but I haven't received it yet so please pray that I recieve the Holy Ghost. And I will pray for you bretheren that it falls upon you as you pray and tarry for it
I come into agreement with you. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:3. God is not a man to lie, and His word does not return vioded. Be kind, loving, obedient and patient as you wait. Do not allow yourself to grow weary while awaiting your blessing. May this season be one you gain more insight and knowledge of love your heavenly Father has for you. In Jesus Christ name I ask and pray, Amen
baptism dont save you friend, and if you follow gino youre following oneness/modalism, a cult condemned heretical by the early church. pm me- you recieve the HG when you accept Jesus' Blood sacrifice sister.
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 1 Corinthians 11:15

TONGUES AND BAPTISM FOR SALVATION If we are saved before baptism by faith then baptism cannot convey to us the Spirit no matter what name is said over a person. If you are saved by baptism, (by calling on Jesus name) then it was not faith that saved but an ordinance you had faith in. If it was at your baptism you had called on him for the first time to save you this would not make sense, since it is our response to the gospel message by faith that saves. Oneness Pentecostals (a separate group of Pentecostals) teach that "speaking in tongues" must accompany the conversion of all Christians to prove they have the Spirit. The process to salvation is repentance, faith, baptism in Jesus name, then comes the waiting for the Acts 2 experience. Either before or after is obedience to commands and works. The Oneness Pentecostals make tongues as the proof that one possesses salvation. Many wait for this evidence to occur and when it does not they look desperately to find whatever flaw or sin is holding back His Spirit from coming. I can’t think of something more disheartening than to think your not saved because you haven’t had this experience of tongues. John the Baptist never spoke another tongue yet he was filled with the spirit from his mothers womb. The book of Acts gives us the normal pattern for receiving the Holy Spirit. One thing becomes clear as the texts are looked at carefully, there is no consistent pattern of reception. In order for something to be normative it needs to be consistent and a common thing to all, clearly it is not as proposed by the Oneness view. If we look carefully through the book of Acts There are only three references to believers speaking in tongues when salvation was given. Acts 2 those in the upper room who did not know what they were waiting for, Acts 10 the spirit falls on them while the message is given and they speak to give evidence to Peter that the gentiles are allowed to enter the Church. And Acts 19 The order for the Jews in Acts 2 was vs.38 repent,vs.41 they gladly received the word then they were baptized publicly in a Christian baptism and received the spirit of promise. Which was the same promise given to the apostles by Jesus in Acts 1:5. The unbelieving Jews were witnesses to God beginning a new entity the Church. Acts 8 for the Samaritans the order was they believed and were baptized vs.12-17 then they had the apostles lay hands on them and received the Holy Spirit Acts 10 the gentiles order was as he was speaking the Holy Spirit was given because of their faith that God saw in their hearts vs.44-48 then they were baptized. so we can see each time a different way in which the spirit was given. Acts 10 opposes the view of having to be baptized first to receive the Spirit as Oneness claims. Are we to believe God poured out his Spirit in the same way as Pentecost on people whose sins were not yet forgiven? Clearly the Spirit is given by grace. However we find their was a common denominator, they were all saved the same way. By faith Lets take a journey through the book of Acts and see what transpired in each instance of salvation. Did all speak in tongues were all baptized (in Jesus name) to receive the spirit. What we find will be very productive in understanding the truth. Acts 2 Death and resurrection are proclaimed 3,000 are saved. as Jews they publicly declare their allegiance to Christ by being baptized and receive the spirit. No tongues for the 3,000.This is important in that so many make tongues the required manifestation to show they were saved. Nowhere does anyone refer to Acts 2 as the model for each time a group or people were saved. Only in Acts 11 does Peter recall what happened to them in the upper room. Acts 3:18-19 Christ’s death and repentance is the focus for the forgiveness of their sins. In Acts 4:2-4 Jesus & the resurrection is preached, not baptism & again they believed the word & 5,000 were saved. There was no tongues , and no baptism mentioned. Acts 4:31 tells us they spoke the word boldly when they were filled with the spirit. no tongues, and no baptism mentioned Acts 8:17 Peter and John come to the Samaritans who had already received the word of God & were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and still did not have the spirit. ( Peter needed to be there, he was present for all three groups : Jews, Samaritans and Gentiles) there were no tongues. Acts 8:37-38 After hearing Isa.53 which is about the death of Jesus he asks to be baptized, Philip reply’s if you believe with all your heart. He confesses Jesus is the son of God. no tongues (maybe he did maybe he didn't.) Acts 9:17-18 when Paul received salvation he did not speak in tongues until later, yet no one would contest he was saved. When he gives his testimony he refers back to the Damascus road encounter as the time of his Spiritual birth. In vs. 17 it tells us when Ananias laid hands on him he was filled with the Spirit then he was baptized. (1Cor.15:18, Gal.1:12) He later does speak in tongues as probably all the apostles did. Acts 10:43 Peter says "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. We have the exact reversal of Acts 2 ,they then received the Spirit from hearing the word & believing, before any baptism. The gentiles speak in tongues as proof of their salvation to some of the unbelieving Jews present who refused to believe they could be partakers of salvation. If no Jews were there would not have been necessary for this sign gift to be manifested. vs.48 they were commanded to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Acts 11:16-18 Peter recounts the Lord saying about the difference between water baptism and spirit baptism. Vs 17" if therefore God gave them the same gift as he did unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ;" Acts 15 the Jerusalem council was called because some men said that certain parts of the law needed to be obeyed. Vs 8 Peter recounts how the gentiles heard the word of the gospel and believed, God seeing their hearts acknowledged them by giving them the H. Spirit just as he did us. And making no distinction between us & them, purifying their hearts by faith vs.11" We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus we shall be saved in the same manner". Notice that Peter makes it clear its by grace and that the gentiles were actually saved being baptized in the Spirit before any confession or baptism. (1 Cor.12:13) Everyone enters into Christ the same way then and today.Eph.1:13 tells us when they believed in the gospel (1 Cor.15:1-4) they were sealed by the Holy Spirit. Acts 16:31 the Philipian jailer asks what must I do to be saved ? answer believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you & your household. then they spoke the word of the Lord to both him & his household. No tongues, no baptism until later What we find in the book of Acts is no set formulae for the giving of the Spirit. What was required in all the accounts was faith. Tongues were not present except in a few instances. Acts 19 vs.5 they were baptized in the name of the Lord. Jews who only received Johns baptism had not heard of Christ’s death and resurrection nor Pentecost. It is Paul who initiates the conversation on the Holy Spirit. He finds that they are not disciples of Christ but of John, years after they had not heard that the one John was pointing to had already come. After receiving the Gospel they are baptized Paul lays hands on them the Holy Spirit comes upon them and they speak in tongues and prophecy. They did not seek after the Spirit as the Oneness Pentecostals are told, it was a natural occurrence. Not one instance do we see anyone laboring for the Spirit. Why was the Spirit given after Paul laid hands on them. It was to illustrate that they were no longer to follow John the Baptizer but the apostles who now had the leadership role for Israel. The Church with the apostles as their leaders replaced the Sanhedrin and Pharisees and even John. In each case when tongues are manifested there are Jews present (sometimes in unbelief). The conclusion can only be that that tongues were given primarily as a sign to unbelieving Jews or to those new people groups entering the body. As with Acts 10 they were in unbelief that the gentiles could be saved and so God gave them the Holy Spirit and as proof gave them languages unlearned for evidence to those present. Their conclusion was that they received what they had at Pentecost. In Acts 19 The unbelieving Jews that were only water baptized spoke in tongues was proof to them that Jesus died and resurrected and the Holy Spirit had come. Tongues is neither the initial evidence of their salvation anymore than prophecy would be. If we take the Oneness Pentecostal attitude to its conclusion …then one must have hands laid on them to receive the spirit and that they must be in groups of twelve to thousands like the other occurrences with tongues instead of single persons. One might even add that fire should appear over their heads as it did at Pentecost. People try to insert other incidents but they are all arguments from silence and are not Scripturally consistent or verifiable . Acts 26:18 "that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. that is in Jesus Christ. The majority of teaching of how to be spiritually born is by faith. The order today is faith, the receiving of the Holy Spirit and our response in baptism. So with a handful of scripture on baptism with over 240 on faith and believe, not including those about Christ’s death we can see how important it is to rightly divide the word. Is tongues necessary for salvation? No! otherwise we will have to eliminate most of the salvation’s in the book of Acts. It is an evidence but not THE evidence for all.
This man is really getting his messages from the third heavens with my God what a message? he that has an ear to hear let him hear, God's riches blessings upon you and your family Apostle Jennings.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👋
You mean he’s getting his message from Jesus Christ himself, through the WORD. I wasn’t aware that the third heaven gives out message. If you can send a scripture, then I’d be happy to gladly read it to be edified.
Thanks be to God for shining His light on us through the way you break down scripture, every time I listen to any of your teaching I just marvel, I have never seen or heard this before and I thank God for this revelation, may the Lord help me to obey Him

Acts 8 for the Samaritans the order was they believed and were baptized vs.12-17 then they had the apostles lay hands on them and received the Holy Spirit Acts 10 the gentiles order was as he was speaking the Holy Spirit was given because of their faith that God saw in their hearts vs.44-48 then they were baptized. so we can see each time a different way in which the spirit was given. Acts 10 opposes the view of having to be baptized first to receive the Spirit as Oneness claims. Are we to believe God poured out his Spirit in the same way as Pentecost on people whose sins were not yet forgiven? Clearly the Spirit is given by grace. However we find their was a common denominator, they were all saved the same way. By faith Lets take a journey through the book of Acts and see what transpired in each instance of salvation. Did all speak in tongues were all baptized (in Jesus name) to receive the spirit. What we find will be very productive in understanding the truth. Acts 2 Death and resurrection are proclaimed 3,000 are saved. as Jews they publicly declare their allegiance to Christ by being baptized and receive the spirit. No tongues for the 3,000.This is important in that so many make tongues the required manifestation to show they were saved. Nowhere does anyone refer to Acts 2 as the model for each time a group or people were saved. Only in Acts 11 does Peter recall what happened to them in the upper room. Acts 3:18-19 Christ’s death and repentance is the focus for the forgiveness of their sins. In Acts 4:2-4 Jesus & the resurrection is preached, not baptism & again they believed the word & 5,000 were saved. There was no tongues , and no baptism mentioned. Acts 4:31 tells us they spoke the word boldly when they were filled with the spirit. no tongues, and no baptism mentioned Acts 8:17 Peter and John come to the Samaritans who had already received the word of God & were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and still did not have the spirit. ( Peter needed to be there, he was present for all three groups : Jews, Samaritans and Gentiles) there were no tongues. Acts 8:37-38 After hearing Isa.53 which is about the death of Jesus he asks to be baptized, Philip reply’s if you believe with all your heart. He confesses Jesus is the son of God. no tongues (maybe he did maybe he didn't.) Acts 9:17-18 when Paul received salvation he did not speak in tongues until later, yet no one would contest he was saved. When he gives his testimony he refers back to the Damascus road encounter as the time of his Spiritual birth. In vs. 17 it tells us when Ananias laid hands on him he was filled with the Spirit then he was baptized. (1Cor.15:18, Gal.1:12) He later does speak in tongues as probably all the apostles did. Acts 10:43 Peter says "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. We have the exact reversal of Acts 2 ,they then received the Spirit from hearing the word & believing, before any baptism. The gentiles speak in tongues as proof of their salvation to some of the unbelieving Jews present who refused to believe they could be partakers of salvation. If no Jews were there would not have been necessary for this sign gift to be manifested. vs.48 they were commanded to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Acts 11:16-18 Peter recounts the Lord saying about the difference between water baptism and spirit baptism. Vs 17" if therefore God gave them the same gift as he did unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ;" Acts 15 the Jerusalem council was called because some men said that certain parts of the law needed to be obeyed. Vs 8 Peter recounts how the gentiles heard the word of the gospel and believed, God seeing their hearts acknowledged them by giving them the H. Spirit just as he did us. And making no distinction between us & them, purifying their hearts by faith vs.11" We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus we shall be saved in the same manner". Notice that Peter makes it clear its by grace and that the gentiles were actually saved being baptized in the Spirit before any confession or baptism. (1 Cor.12:13) Everyone enters into Christ the same way then and today.Eph.1:13 tells us when they believed in the gospel (1 Cor.15:1-4) they were sealed by the Holy Spirit. Acts 16:31 the Philipian jailer asks what must I do to be saved ? answer believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you & your household. then they spoke the word of the Lord to both him & his household. No tongues, no baptism until later What we find in the book of Acts is no set formulae for the giving of the Spirit. What was required in all the accounts was faith. Tongues were not present except in a few instances. Acts 19 vs.5 they were baptized in the name of the Lord. Jews who only received Johns baptism had not heard of Christ’s death and resurrection nor Pentecost. It is Paul who initiates the conversation on the Holy Spirit. He finds that they are not disciples of Christ but of John, years after they had not heard that the one John was pointing to had already come. After receiving the Gospel they are baptized Paul lays hands on them the Holy Spirit comes upon them and they speak in tongues and prophecy. They did not seek after the Spirit as the Oneness Pentecostals are told, it was a natural occurrence. Not one instance do we see anyone laboring for the Spirit. Why was the Spirit given after Paul laid hands on them. It was to illustrate that they were no longer to follow John the Baptizer but the apostles who now had the leadership role for Israel. The Church with the apostles as their leaders replaced the Sanhedrin and Pharisees and even John. In each case when tongues are manifested there are Jews present (sometimes in unbelief). The conclusion can only be that that tongues were given primarily as a sign to unbelieving Jews or to those new people groups entering the body. As with Acts 10 they were in unbelief that the gentiles could be saved and so God gave them the Holy Spirit and as proof gave them languages unlearned for evidence to those present. Their conclusion was that they received what they had at Pentecost. In Acts 19 The unbelieving Jews that were only water baptized spoke in tongues was proof to them that Jesus died and resurrected and the Holy Spirit had come. Tongues is neither the initial evidence of their salvation anymore than prophecy would be. If we take the Oneness Pentecostal attitude to its conclusion …then one must have hands laid on them to receive the spirit and that they must be in groups of twelve to thousands like the other occurrences with tongues instead of single persons. One might even add that fire should appear over their heads as it did at Pentecost. People try to insert other incidents but they are all arguments from silence and are not Scripturally consistent or verifiable . Acts 26:18 "that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. that is in Jesus Christ. The majority of teaching of how to be spiritually born is by faith. The order today is faith, the receiving of the Holy Spirit and our response in baptism. So with a handful of scripture on baptism with over 240 on faith and believe, not including those about Christ’s death we can see how important it is to rightly divide the word. Is tongues necessary for salvation? No! otherwise we will have to eliminate most of the salvation’s in the book of Acts. It is an evidence but not THE evidence for all.
WE HAVE TO REPENT REPENT AND KEEP OUR FAITH IN GOD FIRST ALWAYS ALWAYS CAUSE FAITH WORKS WITH FAITH AND DETERMINATION AND OBEDIENCE AND DISCIPLINE IN OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏🙏♥️♥️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

TONGUES AND BAPTISM FOR SALVATION If we are saved before baptism by faith then baptism cannot convey to us the Spirit no matter what name is said over a person. If you are saved by baptism, (by calling on Jesus name) then it was not faith that saved but an ordinance you had faith in. If it was at your baptism you had called on him for the first time to save you this would not make sense, since it is our response to the gospel message by faith that saves. Oneness Pentecostals (a separate group of Pentecostals) teach that "speaking in tongues" must accompany the conversion of all Christians to prove they have the Spirit. The process to salvation is repentance, faith, baptism in Jesus name, then comes the waiting for the Acts 2 experience. Either before or after is obedience to commands and works. The Oneness Pentecostals make tongues as the proof that one possesses salvation. Many wait for this evidence to occur and when it does not they look desperately to find whatever flaw or sin is holding back His Spirit from coming. I can’t think of something more disheartening than to think your not saved because you haven’t had this experience of tongues. John the Baptist never spoke another tongue yet he was filled with the spirit from his mothers womb. The book of Acts gives us the normal pattern for receiving the Holy Spirit. One thing becomes clear as the texts are looked at carefully, there is no consistent pattern of reception. In order for something to be normative it needs to be consistent and a common thing to all, clearly it is not as proposed by the Oneness view. If we look carefully through the book of Acts There are only three references to believers speaking in tongues when salvation was given. Acts 2 those in the upper room who did not know what they were waiting for, Acts 10 the spirit falls on them while the message is given and they speak to give evidence to Peter that the gentiles are allowed to enter the Church. And Acts 19 The order for the Jews in Acts 2 was vs.38 repent,vs.41 they gladly received the word then they were baptized publicly in a Christian baptism and received the spirit of promise. Which was the same promise given to the apostles by Jesus in Acts 1:5. The unbelieving Jews were witnesses to God beginning a new entity the Church. Acts 8 for the Samaritans the order was they believed and were baptized vs.12-17 then they had the apostles lay hands on them and received the Holy Spirit Acts 10 the gentiles order was as he was speaking the Holy Spirit was given because of their faith that God saw in their hearts vs.44-48 then they were baptized. so we can see each time a different way in which the spirit was given.

Always so grateful for Pastor Jennings dedication, fear, and love for representing God’s way. Based solely on the Holy Scriptures. Thank you for caring so much for our souls. You are appreciated for this!
Greetings everyone, I don’t usually comment on videos but I truly thank God for showing me the Truth and what God has done and continue to do in my life! I’ve been following the Truth of God for 10 months now. I remember when I was struggling with smoking weed but one day I started rolling up my weed to smoke and as I started smoking while listening to Pastor Jennings and I felt very convicted that day and started crying midway through my smoke session and threw away the weed and never touched it again. I got baptized 07/01/22 and my life has completely changed ever since I’ve been being obedient to the Word of God. Please keep me in pray as I do for y’all!!

THE WORD ONE
Both Trinitarians and Oneness believe there is one God. But it is how we define it that makes the difference.
The Oneness teaching takes all the Scriptures that say God is one and purposely ignore the statements of Jesus and the gospel writers that speak of two or three persons of the Godhead. In the Old Testament teachings were focused on God being one in contrast to the polytheism of the nations that surrounded Israel. There are statements that speak of the plurality of this ONE God in the Old Testament record. However, it is only when we come to the New Testament that this one in unity is explained.
Bernard writes that the word apparently can mean both one in unity and one numerically for Strong's defines it as "united, one, first." He then gives just a few examples to prove that we should choose its meaning to be an absolute one.(Oneness of God, pp.152-153) Bernard finds a few examples contrary to the plural meaning which in no way is exhaustive. However the context determines the meaning.
In the Old Testament God is described as one. Duet.6:4 says, "Hear, O Israel: LORD our God is one: what Oneness does is camp on this passage, milking it till the cows come home. The phrase "one Lord" is preceded in the Hebrew by elohenu; it is our God is one. The word for one is not a numerical one but is actually a united one. The Hebrew word for one is echad, which comes from the root word achad, which means to unify or collect together (the intensive reflexive form signifying to unite). If this was meant to be a strict numerical statement the Holy Spirit would have had Moses use the word yachid, which means a absolute one, single, only one. Yachid is used twelve times in the Scriptures NOT ONCE is it used for Jehovah God. Despite all the explanations we can see they fail in light of the consistent usage of the word one throughout.
The Bible defines how the word one is used.
Gen.1:5 evening and morning are called one day ( a combination of two parts to make one) they are both considered a day yet we can distinguish them as different phases.
Gen. 2:24 Adam and Eve become one flesh (Here two personalities who come together in marriage and are one, not one person but in unity. God sees them as one even though they are not physically fused together like Siamese twins. If we take the Oneness view this would be the only consideration for our understanding.
Gen.11:6 the people are one Ezra 2:64 the whole assembly of Israel is like one.
Num. 13:23 according to their view When the spies went over into the land of Canaan they brought back one grape (Heb. eschal echad.) Thats one big grap ! Can anyone actually think it was a numerical statement. It means a cluster of grapes.
Ps.133:1 the brethren is to dwell as one ( in unity) 1 Sam.3:17 they are called one company 2 Sam. 2:25 one troop 1 kings 7:42 one tribe 1 Kings 11:13 Israel is called one nation.
Ez. 37:17 Ezekial is told to put two sticks together and combined they become one stick. Showing the nation would be unified. In all these examples can anyone find them to be a strict singular meaning ? This same word is applied to the one God and is clearly used as a compound unity. You can twist and turn at the truth of the matter , you can be uncomfortable in its teaching but you can’t remove its consistent usage in the scripture.
The word for a strict single is yachid it is used in Gen.22:2 "Take thy one and only son." This can also be used for Gods only son being unique and one of a kind.
PLURAL STATEMENTS OF GOD IN THE N.T
Vs.20 "I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you in vs.23 he speaks in a plural ... and we will come to him and make our home with him. Is the humanity of Christ going to make its home in us! This is one of the few times Jesus speaks in a plural context to explain his unity with both the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Essentially the word one is describing the being of God while we have other statements that describe the persons of God (not human persons but distinct identities). There is not conflict unless someone disregards one or the other.
Jn.17:21 Jesus prays that they all may be one, as you Father are in me , and I in you , that they also may be one in us."
In the New Testament there is a Greek equivalent to the Hebrew word for one. In Mt.19:5 Jesus quotes Gen.2:24 about a husband and wife becoming one flesh; the word used is hen. Jesus prays that as believers we will be one even as ( Gr. kathos; according as, just as, even as) he and the Father are one. He did not mean our persons would be fused together, it means spiritually united. The God of the Old Testament is a united one. The God of the New Testament is a united one. This is what is meant by God being one.
Jn.10:30 "I and my Father are one," this is not numerical; Jesus is not saying he is the Father. They are not one person, but in nature they are unified. It actually reads "we are one" in Greek the first person plural esmen means‘ we are.’ Again this is a unity in nature not a numerical statement
The word one in Greek is Hen and it is a neuter nominative so it refers to one in essence and nature, and kind. That he is deity just as the Father is. He went on to explain he is the Son of God and the Pharisees understood his claim of making himself out to be equal with the Father.
Eph. 2:18 " Through Christ we both have access to the Father, by one Spirit."
Here we have three distinct persons involved in our relationship to God. Christ the person (God/man) has made it possible, the Spirit who is the means of access and the Father who is the object. The scripture uses "we" both in relation to the Jews and gentiles, two people groups. These same words are used also of the Son and the Father showing they are two different persons.
2 Cor. 13:14 "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all". Here again are all three mentioned why make distinctions if they are all the same person.
There are numerous illustrations in the O.T. of the three being one. For example there is a tradition even today as the Jew’s say the S’hma Deut.6:4 it is broken up into three segments each repeated three times while the last word one is said only once, indicating unity. Isaiah when he saw the Lord in his temple Isa.6 said, "holy, holy, holy,". Also in Rev. 4:8 it describes the angels saying it thrice day and night, showing it is a set pattern in heaven where God dwells. Yet more times than not God is represented as the Holy one of Israel. In Numbers 6:24 we find a thrice fold blessing with the title Lord. Num 6:24-27 "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." "So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them." In like manner 2 Cor.13:14 states" The grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all." Here we see all three mentioned as a unit. While this cannot emphatically prove tri-unity it does show there was this concept that is not foreign to the scriptures.
baptism dont save you friend, and if you follow gino youre following oneness/modalism, a cult condemned heretical by the early church.
@@robrobert3438 WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! Out of all the articles, scriptures, and your opinion. How did u come up with CULT? I’m confused! Explain?

The Hebrew word for one is echad, which comes from the root word achad, which means to unify or collect together (the intensive reflexive form signifying to unite). If this was meant to be a strict numerical statement the Holy Spirit would have had Moses use the word yachid, which means a absolute one, single, only one. Yachid is used twelve times in the Scriptures NOT ONCE is it used for Jehovah God. Despite all the explanations we can see they fail in light of the consistent usage of the word one throughout.
The Bible defines how the word one is used.
Gen.1:5 evening and morning are called one day ( a combination of two parts to make one) they are both considered a day yet we can distinguish them as different phases.
Gen. 2:24 Adam and Eve become one flesh (Here two personalities who come together in marriage and are one, not one person but in unity. God sees them as one even though they are not physically fused together like Siamese twins. If we take the Oneness view this would be the only consideration for our understanding.
Gen.11:6 the people are one Ezra 2:64 the whole assembly of Israel is like one.
Num. 13:23 according to their view When the spies went over into the land of Canaan they brought back one grape (Heb. eschal echad.) Thats one big grap ! Can anyone actually think it was a numerical statement. It means a cluster of grapes.
Ps.133:1 the brethren is to dwell as one ( in unity) 1 Sam.3:17 they are called one company 2 Sam. 2:25 one troop 1 kings 7:42 one tribe 1 Kings 11:13 Israel is called one nation.
Ez. 37:17 Ezekial is told to put two sticks together and combined they become one stick. Showing the nation would be unified. In all these examples can anyone find them to be a strict singular meaning ? This same word is applied to the one God and is clearly used as a compound unity. You can twist and turn at the truth of the matter , you can be uncomfortable in its teaching but you can’t remove its consistent usage in the scripture.
The word for a strict single is yachid it is used in Gen.22:2 "Take thy one and only son." This can also be used for Gods only son being unique and one of a kind.
PLURAL STATEMENTS OF GOD IN THE N.T
Vs.20 "I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you in vs.23 he speaks in a plural ... and we will come to him and make our home with him. Is the humanity of Christ going to make its home in us! This is one of the few times Jesus speaks in a plural context to explain his unity with both the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Essentially the word one is describing the being of God while we have other statements that describe the persons of God (not human persons but distinct identities). There is not conflict unless someone disregards one or the other.
Jn.17:21 Jesus prays that they all may be one, as you Father are in me , and I in you , that they also may be one in us."
In the New Testament there is a Greek equivalent to the Hebrew word for one. In Mt.19:5 Jesus quotes Gen.2:24 about a husband and wife becoming one flesh; the word used is hen. Jesus prays that as believers we will be one even as ( Gr. kathos; according as, just as, even as) he and the Father are one. He did not mean our persons would be fused together, it means spiritually united. The God of the Old Testament is a united one. The God of the New Testament is a united one. This is what is meant by God being one.
Jn.10:30 "I and my Father are one," this is not numerical; Jesus is not saying he is the Father. They are not one person, but in nature they are unified. It actually reads "we are one" in Greek the first person plural esmen means‘ we are.’ Again this is a unity in nature not a numerical statement
The word one in Greek is Hen and it is a neuter nominative so it refers to one in essence and nature, and kind. That he is deity just as the Father is. He went on to explain he is the Son of God and the Pharisees understood his claim of making himself out to be equal with the Father.
Eph. 2:18 " Through Christ we both have access to the Father, by one Spirit."
Here we have three distinct persons involved in our relationship to God. Christ the person (God/man) has made it possible, the Spirit who is the means of access and the Father who is the object. The scripture uses "we" both in relation to the Jews and gentiles, two people groups. These same words are used also of the Son and the Father showing they are two different persons.
2 Cor. 13:14 "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all". Here again are all three mentioned why make distinctions if they are all the same person.
There are numerous illustrations in the O.T. of the three being one. For example there is a tradition even today as the Jew’s say the S’hma Deut.6:4 it is broken up into three segments each repeated three times while the last word one is said only once, indicating unity. Isaiah when he saw the Lord in his temple Isa.6 said, "holy, holy, holy,". Also in Rev. 4:8 it describes the angels saying it thrice day and night, showing it is a set pattern in heaven where God dwells. Yet more times than not God is represented as the Holy one of Israel. In Numbers 6:24 we find a thrice fold blessing with the title Lord. Num 6:24-27 "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." "So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them." In like manner 2 Cor.13:14 states" The grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all." Here we see all three mentioned as a unit. While this cannot emphatically prove tri-unity it does show there was this concept that is not foreign to the scriptures.
Thank you Pastor for the truth we have live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God
Thank you Lord for bringing the truth unto my life through Pastor Gino,help me to obey.
Truth of God Church is here to correct what has been deviated in false churches. What a precious gift from God.
heretical as stated by the early church- gino is a false preacher.
Appreciative for one more day of hearing the Lord’s Word. Saints, please keep Apostle Pastor Jennings, Minister Williams and all of the TOG Ministry in your prayers. May the Lord bless and keep all who have died in this life for the Lord. Peace unto all.
false preacher, false gospel friend.
The Truth.
So good to know that Saviour is working hand in hand with the Truth of God. Adding to the Church daily worldwide.
Thank you pastor Gino Jennings for always bringing the undiluted word of God am forever grateful🙌🏽👏🏽🙏✝️🔥
Isaiah 8:20
baptism dont save you friend, and if you follow gino youre following oneness/modalism, a cult condemned heretical by the early church.
hes a liar and deceiver.
Yes indeed, Always and forever
1. Where in the Scripture does it say that God is unitarian? (or that God exist as one Person?)
If God is unitarian, how do you explain passages such as Genesis 19:24 where Yahweh (“LORD”), rained brimstone and fire from the Yahweh out of heaven?
If God is unitarian, why are there so many plural descriptions in the OT (viz. plural nouns, adjectives, and verbs) to describe God?
If God is unitarian, why is it that there are so many places in the Bible where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are clearly distinguished from each other in the same verse?
If Jesus is the Father, why is it that Jesus is explicitly referred to as “the Son” over two hundred times in the New Testament, and never once is he called “Father?
If the “Son” has not eternally existed with (personally distinct from) the Father why then is the Son presented as the Agent of creation, that is, the Creator? (for in Oneness theology only Jesus as the “Father” mode existed prior to Bethlehem).
If the Son did not eternally exist with the Father as a distinct Person why is it that the “Son” can say, “Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had [eichon, or “shared”] with You before the world was” (emphasis added)?
Thus, how did the Son have (literally, actively “possessed”) glory with (para) the Father before time if the Son did not exist before Bethlehem?
If the Son did not eternally exist with the Father as a distinct Person why is it that the “Son” is said to be “sent” from the Father “out of heaven”?
If Oneness doctrine is biblically true, why then do the biblical authors use grammatical features that personally distinguish between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?
If Oneness doctrine (or Modalism) is the so-called doctrine of the apostles, then, why was it universally condemned as *heretical* by the early church Fathers (some of who were disciples of the original apostles) and condemned by all the important church councils and creeds?
THANK YOU FATHER FOR PASTOR GINO 🙌🏾

TONGUES AND BAPTISM FOR SALVATION
If we are saved before baptism by faith then baptism cannot convey to us the Spirit no matter what name is said over a person. If you are saved by baptism, (by calling on Jesus name) then it was not faith that saved but an ordinance you had faith in. If it was at your baptism you had called on him for the first time to save you this would not make sense, since it is our response to the gospel message by faith that saves.
Oneness Pentecostals (a separate group of Pentecostals) teach that "speaking in tongues" must accompany the conversion of all Christians to prove they have the Spirit. The process to salvation is repentance, faith, baptism in Jesus name, then comes the waiting for the Acts 2 experience. Either before or after is obedience to commands and works. The Oneness Pentecostals make tongues as the proof that one possesses salvation. Many wait for this evidence to occur and when it does not they look desperately to find whatever flaw or sin is holding back His Spirit from coming. I can’t think of something more disheartening than to think your not saved because you haven’t had this experience of tongues.
John the Baptist never spoke another tongue yet he was filled with the spirit from his mothers womb. The book of Acts gives us the normal pattern for receiving the Holy Spirit. One thing becomes clear as the texts are looked at carefully, there is no consistent pattern of reception. In order for something to be normative it needs to be consistent and a common thing to all, clearly it is not as proposed by the Oneness view.
If we look carefully through the book of Acts There are only three references to believers speaking in tongues when salvation was given. Acts 2 those in the upper room who did not know what they were waiting for, Acts 10 the spirit falls on them while the message is given and they speak to give evidence to Peter that the gentiles are allowed to enter the Church. And Acts 19
The order for the Jews in Acts 2 was vs.38 repent,vs.41 they gladly received the word then they were baptized publicly in a Christian baptism and received the spirit of promise. Which was the same promise given to the apostles by Jesus in Acts 1:5. The unbelieving Jews were witnesses to God beginning a new entity the Church.
Acts 8 for the Samaritans the order was they believed and were baptized vs.12-17 then they had the apostles lay hands on them and received the Holy Spirit
Acts 10 the gentiles order was as he was speaking the Holy Spirit was given because of their faith that God saw in their hearts vs.44-48 then they were baptized. so we can see each time a different way in which the spirit was given.
Acts 10 opposes the view of having to be baptized first to receive the Spirit as Oneness claims. Are we to believe God poured out his Spirit in the same way as Pentecost on people whose sins were not yet forgiven? Clearly the Spirit is given by grace.
However we find their was a common denominator, they were all saved the same way. By faith
Lets take a journey through the book of Acts and see what transpired in each instance of salvation. Did all speak in tongues were all baptized (in Jesus name) to receive the spirit. What we find will be very productive in understanding the truth.
Acts 2 Death and resurrection are proclaimed 3,000 are saved. as Jews they publicly declare their allegiance to Christ by being baptized and receive the spirit. No tongues for the 3,000.This is important in that so many make tongues the required manifestation to show they were saved. Nowhere does anyone refer to Acts 2 as the model for each time a group or people were saved. Only in Acts 11 does Peter recall what happened to them in the upper room.
Acts 3:18-19 Christ’s death and repentance is the focus for the forgiveness of their sins. In Acts 4:2-4 Jesus & the resurrection is preached, not baptism & again they believed the word & 5,000 were saved. There was no tongues , and no baptism mentioned.
Acts 4:31 tells us they spoke the word boldly when they were filled with the spirit. no tongues, and no baptism mentioned
Acts 8:17 Peter and John come to the Samaritans who had already received the word of God & were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and still did not have the spirit. ( Peter needed to be there, he was present for all three groups : Jews, Samaritans and Gentiles) there were no tongues.
Acts 8:37-38 After hearing Isa.53 which is about the death of Jesus he asks to be baptized, Philip reply’s if you believe with all your heart. He confesses Jesus is the son of God. no tongues (maybe he did maybe he didn't.)
Acts 9:17-18 when Paul received salvation he did not speak in tongues until later, yet no one would contest he was saved. When he gives his testimony he refers back to the Damascus road encounter as the time of his Spiritual birth. In vs. 17 it tells us when Ananias laid hands on him he was filled with the Spirit then he was baptized.
(1Cor.15:18, Gal.1:12) He later does speak in tongues as probably all the apostles did.
Acts 10:43 Peter says "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
We have the exact reversal of Acts 2 ,they then received the Spirit from hearing the word & believing, before any baptism. The gentiles speak in tongues as proof of their salvation to some of the unbelieving Jews present who refused to believe they could be partakers of salvation. If no Jews were there would not have been necessary for this sign gift to be manifested. vs.48 they were commanded to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Acts 11:16-18 Peter recounts the Lord saying about the difference between water baptism and spirit baptism. Vs 17" if therefore God gave them the same gift as he did unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ;"
Acts 15 the Jerusalem council was called because some men said that certain parts of the law needed to be obeyed. Vs 8 Peter recounts how the gentiles heard the word of the gospel and believed, God seeing their hearts acknowledged them by giving them the H. Spirit just as he did us. And making no distinction between us & them, purifying their hearts by faith vs.11" We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus we shall be saved in the same manner". Notice that Peter makes it clear its by grace and that the gentiles were actually saved being baptized in the Spirit before any confession or baptism. (1 Cor.12:13) Everyone enters into Christ the same way then and today.Eph.1:13 tells us when they believed in the gospel (1 Cor.15:1-4) they were sealed by the Holy Spirit.
Acts 16:31 the Philipian jailer asks what must I do to be saved ? answer believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you & your household. then they spoke the word of the Lord to both him & his household. No tongues, no baptism until later
What we find in the book of Acts is no set formulae for the giving of the Spirit. What was required in all the accounts was faith. Tongues were not present except in a few instances.
Acts 19 vs.5 they were baptized in the name of the Lord. Jews who only received Johns baptism had not heard of Christ’s death and resurrection nor Pentecost. It is Paul who initiates the conversation on the Holy Spirit. He finds that they are not disciples of Christ but of John, years after they had not heard that the one John was pointing to had already come. After receiving the Gospel they are baptized Paul lays hands on them the Holy Spirit comes upon them and they speak in tongues and prophecy. They did not seek after the Spirit as the Oneness Pentecostals are told, it was a natural occurrence. Not one instance do we see anyone laboring for the Spirit. Why was the Spirit given after Paul laid hands on them. It was to illustrate that they were no longer to follow John the Baptizer but the apostles who now had the leadership role for Israel. The Church with the apostles as their leaders replaced the Sanhedrin and Pharisees and even John.
In each case when tongues are manifested there are Jews present (sometimes in unbelief). The conclusion can only be that that tongues were given primarily as a sign to unbelieving Jews or to those new people groups entering the body. As with Acts 10 they were in unbelief that the gentiles could be saved and so God gave them the Holy Spirit and as proof gave them languages unlearned for evidence to those present. Their conclusion was that they received what they had at Pentecost. In Acts 19 The unbelieving Jews that were only water baptized spoke in tongues was proof to them that Jesus died and resurrected and the Holy Spirit had come.
Tongues is neither the initial evidence of their salvation anymore than prophecy would be. If we take the Oneness Pentecostal attitude to its conclusion …then one must have hands laid on them to receive the spirit and that they must be in groups of twelve to thousands like the other occurrences with tongues instead of single persons. One might even add that fire should appear over their heads as it did at Pentecost. People try to insert other incidents but they are all arguments from silence and are not Scripturally consistent or verifiable .
Acts 26:18 "that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. that is in Jesus Christ. The majority of teaching of how to be spiritually born is by faith. The order today is faith, the receiving of the Holy Spirit and our response in baptism. So with a handful of scripture on baptism with over 240 on faith and believe, not including those about Christ’s death we can see how important it is to rightly divide the word.
Is tongues necessary for salvation? No! otherwise we will have to eliminate most of the salvation’s in the book of Acts. It is an evidence but not THE evidence for all.
Gino i am well beresed on the word
FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPE FOR AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS UNSEEN AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏🙏♥️♥️💯💯

This man is really getting his messages from the third heavens with my God what a message? he that has an ear to hear let him hear, God's riches blessings upon you and your family Apostle Jennings.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👋
You mean he’s getting his message from Jesus Christ himself, through the WORD. I wasn’t aware that the third heaven gives out message. If you can send a scripture, then I’d be happy to gladly read it to be edified.
Thanks be to God for shining His light on us through the way you break down scripture, every time I listen to any of your teaching I just marvel, I have never seen or heard this before and I thank God for this revelation, may the Lord help me to obey Him

Tongues is neither the initial evidence of their salvation anymore than prophecy would be. If we take the Oneness Pentecostal attitude to its conclusion …then one must have hands laid on them to receive the spirit and that they must be in groups of twelve to thousands like the other occurrences with tongues instead of single persons. One might even add that fire should appear over their heads as it did at Pentecost. People try to insert other incidents but they are all arguments from silence and are not Scripturally consistent or verifiable .
Acts 26:18 "that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. that is in Jesus Christ. The majority of teaching of how to be spiritually born is by faith. The order today is faith, the receiving of the Holy Spirit and our response in baptism. So with a handful of scripture on baptism with over 240 on faith and believe, not including those about Christ’s death we can see how important it is to rightly divide the word.
Is tongues necessary for salvation? No! otherwise we will have to eliminate most of the salvation’s in the book of Acts. It is an evidence but not THE evidence for all.
Simply amazing and so wonderful to hear God's WORD. What a miracle! GOD cares about us. 😇

TONGUES AND BAPTISM FOR SALVATION
If we are saved before baptism by faith then baptism cannot convey to us the Spirit no matter what name is said over a person. If you are saved by baptism, (by calling on Jesus name) then it was not faith that saved but an ordinance you had faith in. If it was at your baptism you had called on him for the first time to save you this would not make sense, since it is our response to the gospel message by faith that saves.
Oneness Pentecostals (a separate group of Pentecostals) teach that "speaking in tongues" must accompany the conversion of all Christians to prove they have the Spirit. The process to salvation is repentance, faith, baptism in Jesus name, then comes the waiting for the Acts 2 experience. Either before or after is obedience to commands and works. The Oneness Pentecostals make tongues as the proof that one possesses salvation. Many wait for this evidence to occur and when it does not they look desperately to find whatever flaw or sin is holding back His Spirit from coming. I can’t think of something more disheartening than to think your not saved because you haven’t had this experience of tongues.
John the Baptist never spoke another tongue yet he was filled with the spirit from his mothers womb. The book of Acts gives us the normal pattern for receiving the Holy Spirit. One thing becomes clear as the texts are looked at carefully, there is no consistent pattern of reception. In order for something to be normative it needs to be consistent and a common thing to all, clearly it is not as proposed by the Oneness view.
If we look carefully through the book of Acts There are only three references to believers speaking in tongues when salvation was given. Acts 2 those in the upper room who did not know what they were waiting for, Acts 10 the spirit falls on them while the message is given and they speak to give evidence to Peter that the gentiles are allowed to enter the Church. And Acts 19
The order for the Jews in Acts 2 was vs.38 repent,vs.41 they gladly received the word then they were baptized publicly in a Christian baptism and received the spirit of promise. Which was the same promise given to the apostles by Jesus in Acts 1:5. The unbelieving Jews were witnesses to God beginning a new entity the Church.
Acts 8 for the Samaritans the order was they believed and were baptized vs.12-17 then they had the apostles lay hands on them and received the Holy Spirit
Acts 10 the gentiles order was as he was speaking the Holy Spirit was given because of their faith that God saw in their hearts vs.44-48 then they were baptized. so we can see each time a different way in which the spirit was given.
Acts 10 opposes the view of having to be baptized first to receive the Spirit as Oneness claims. Are we to believe God poured out his Spirit in the same way as Pentecost on people whose sins were not yet forgiven? Clearly the Spirit is given by grace.
However we find their was a common denominator, they were all saved the same way. By faith
Lets take a journey through the book of Acts and see what transpired in each instance of salvation. Did all speak in tongues were all baptized (in Jesus name) to receive the spirit. What we find will be very productive in understanding the truth.
Acts 2 Death and resurrection are proclaimed 3,000 are saved. as Jews they publicly declare their allegiance to Christ by being baptized and receive the spirit. No tongues for the 3,000.This is important in that so many make tongues the required manifestation to show they were saved. Nowhere does anyone refer to Acts 2 as the model for each time a group or people were saved. Only in Acts 11 does Peter recall what happened to them in the upper room.
Acts 3:18-19 Christ’s death and repentance is the focus for the forgiveness of their sins. In Acts 4:2-4 Jesus & the resurrection is preached, not baptism & again they believed the word & 5,000 were saved. There was no tongues , and no baptism mentioned.
Acts 4:31 tells us they spoke the word boldly when they were filled with the spirit. no tongues, and no baptism mentioned
Acts 8:17 Peter and John come to the Samaritans who had already received the word of God & were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and still did not have the spirit. ( Peter needed to be there, he was present for all three groups : Jews, Samaritans and Gentiles) there were no tongues.
Acts 8:37-38 After hearing Isa.53 which is about the death of Jesus he asks to be baptized, Philip reply’s if you believe with all your heart. He confesses Jesus is the son of God. no tongues (maybe he did maybe he didn't.)
Acts 9:17-18 when Paul received salvation he did not speak in tongues until later, yet no one would contest he was saved. When he gives his testimony he refers back to the Damascus road encounter as the time of his Spiritual birth. In vs. 17 it tells us when Ananias laid hands on him he was filled with the Spirit then he was baptized.
(1Cor.15:18, Gal.1:12) He later does speak in tongues as probably all the apostles did.
Acts 10:43 Peter says "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
We have the exact reversal of Acts 2 ,they then received the Spirit from hearing the word & believing, before any baptism. The gentiles speak in tongues as proof of their salvation to some of the unbelieving Jews present who refused to believe they could be partakers of salvation. If no Jews were there would not have been necessary for this sign gift to be manifested. vs.48 they were commanded to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Acts 11:16-18 Peter recounts the Lord saying about the difference between water baptism and spirit baptism. Vs 17" if therefore God gave them the same gift as he did unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ;"
Acts 15 the Jerusalem council was called because some men said that certain parts of the law needed to be obeyed. Vs 8 Peter recounts how the gentiles heard the word of the gospel and believed, God seeing their hearts acknowledged them by giving them the H. Spirit just as he did us. And making no distinction between us & them, purifying their hearts by faith vs.11" We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus we shall be saved in the same manner". Notice that Peter makes it clear its by grace and that the gentiles were actually saved being baptized in the Spirit before any confession or baptism. (1 Cor.12:13) Everyone enters into Christ the same way then and today.Eph.1:13 tells us when they believed in the gospel (1 Cor.15:1-4) they were sealed by the Holy Spirit.
Acts 16:31 the Philipian jailer asks what must I do to be saved ? answer believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you & your household. then they spoke the word of the Lord to both him & his household. No tongues, no baptism until later
What we find in the book of Acts is no set formulae for the giving of the Spirit. What was required in all the accounts was faith. Tongues were not present except in a few instances.
Acts 19 vs.5 they were baptized in the name of the Lord. Jews who only received Johns baptism had not heard of Christ’s death and resurrection nor Pentecost. It is Paul who initiates the conversation on the Holy Spirit. He finds that they are not disciples of Christ but of John, years after they had not heard that the one John was pointing to had already come. After receiving the Gospel they are baptized Paul lays hands on them the Holy Spirit comes upon them and they speak in tongues and prophecy. They did not seek after the Spirit as the Oneness Pentecostals are told, it was a natural occurrence. Not one instance do we see anyone laboring for the Spirit. Why was the Spirit given after Paul laid hands on them. It was to illustrate that they were no longer to follow John the Baptizer but the apostles who now had the leadership role for Israel. The Church with the apostles as their leaders replaced the Sanhedrin and Pharisees and even John.
In each case when tongues are manifested there are Jews present (sometimes in unbelief). The conclusion can only be that that tongues were given primarily as a sign to unbelieving Jews or to those new people groups entering the body. As with Acts 10 they were in unbelief that the gentiles could be saved and so God gave them the Holy Spirit and as proof gave them languages unlearned for evidence to those present. Their conclusion was that they received what they had at Pentecost. In Acts 19 The unbelieving Jews that were only water baptized spoke in tongues was proof to them that Jesus died and resurrected and the Holy Spirit had come.
Tongues is neither the initial evidence of their salvation anymore than prophecy would be. If we take the Oneness Pentecostal attitude to its conclusion …then one must have hands laid on them to receive the spirit and that they must be in groups of twelve to thousands like the other occurrences with tongues instead of single persons. One might even add that fire should appear over their heads as it did at Pentecost. People try to insert other incidents but they are all arguments from silence and are not Scripturally consistent or verifiable .
Acts 26:18 "that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. that is in Jesus Christ. The majority of teaching of how to be spiritually born is by faith. The order today is faith, the receiving of the Holy Spirit and our response in baptism. So with a handful of scripture on baptism with over 240 on faith and believe, not including those about Christ’s death we can see how important it is to rightly divide the word.

Amen to the truth thank you for sharing
Greetings everyone, I don’t usually comment on videos but I truly thank God for showing me the Truth and what God has done and continue to do in my life! I’ve been following the Truth of God for 10 months now. I remember when I was struggling with smoking weed but one day I started rolling up my weed to smoke and as I started smoking while listening to Pastor Jennings and I felt very convicted that day and started crying midway through my smoke session and threw away the weed and never touched it again. I got baptized 07/01/22 and my life has completely changed ever since I’ve been being obedient to the Word of God. Please keep me in pray as I do for y’all!!
I Will keep you in Prayer 🙏. Peace Be.
