Apostolic Pentecostals believe in the necessity of baptism in Jesus' name for the remission of sins, based on Acts 2:38. They follow the practice of the apostles in the New Testament, who baptized believers in the name of Jesus Christ, as opposed to the Trinitarian formula ("in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit"). This practice reflects their belief in the oneness of God. 

Speaking in tongues is seen as the initial evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit, as described in Acts 2:4 and other scriptures. For Apostolic Pentecostals, this is a key part of the conversion experience. It signifies a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit and is considered a confirmation of God's presence and power in a believer’s life. 

 Repentance is seen as the first step in the process of salvation for Apostolic Pentecostals. They believe that turning away from sin and committing to follow Christ is foundational to receiving the Holy Spirit and living a holy life. Repentance is considered a heart transformation that prepares individuals to receive God's grace and power. 

Apostolic Pentecostals believe in living a life of holiness in every aspect, including dress, behavior, and conduct, based on scriptures like 1 Peter 1:16, which says, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." They emphasize modesty, avoiding worldly influences, and dedicating themselves fully to God. This includes conservative dress and avoiding activities that they believe compromise Christian values.
