Law 2.0 | How Pentecostals Repackage Legalism as Spirit-Led Living - EP90

Justin and Tiffany take a closer look at a foundational teaching in Oneness Pentecostalism: the subtle reintroduction of law into the gospel—where grace is preached, but performance is required. In this episode, they examine Nathan Holmes’ sermon “The Law, The Spirit, & Me” and how it subtly shifts from grace to works. Though rooted in Romans 7 and 8, the message turns toward visual conformity and internal striving as markers of salvation assurance. They unpack how this reflects Law 2.0: a performance-based gospel wrapped in Spirit-language. From clean hands to mullet warnings, they explain why real holiness can’t be manufactured—and why needing to prove you're saved means you've already missed grace. This episode is for anyone exhausted by the pressure to look spiritual instead of living freely in Christ.Are you so foolish?
