CFA is a form of Christianity that emphasises the work of the Holy Spirit and the direct experience of the presence of God by the believer. We believe that faith must be powerfully experiential, and not something found merely through ritual or thinking.

Whereas most of us believe that only faith in Jesus Christ is the essential element for salvation, We oneness believe that salvation is by grace through faith, and that "true" faith leads to repentance, full-submersion water baptism (in the name of Jesus Christ), and baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.
