The First United Pentecostal Church understands that God, the creator, came in the form of man, Jesus, and allowed his flesh to die that all might be saved through the cross.  We believe that salvation is not guaranteed by only accepting the Lord as your Savior, but by repenting and being baptised according to the Scriptures and receiving the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.  Then, we are given the power to overcome sin, but not a free pass to heaven.  Only the righteous will enter the Kingdom of Heaven .  Through prayer, fasting, and reading the Word, new-born children of God can keep themselves righteous and holy.
