The central belief of classical Pentecostalism is that through the [[Crucifixion of Jesus|death]], [[Entombment of Christ|burial]], and [[resurrection of Jesus Christ]], [[sin]]s can be forgiven and humanity [[Reconciliation (theology)|reconciled]] with God.{{Sfn | Duffield |Van Cleave| 1983 | p = 187}} This is the [[Good news (Christianity)|Gospel]] or "good news". The fundamental requirement of Pentecostalism is that one be [[Born again (Christianity)|born again]].{{Sfn | Duffield |Van Cleave| 1983 | p = 258}} The new birth is received by the [[Grace in Christianity|grace]] of God through [[Faith in Christianity|faith]] in Christ as Lord and Savior.{{Sfn | Duffield | Van Cleave| 1983 | p = 239}} In being born again, the believer is [[regeneration (theology)|regenerated]], [[Sola fide|justified]], [[Adoption (theology)|adopted]] into the family of God, and the Holy Spirit's work of [[sanctification in Christianity|sanctification]] is initiated.{{Sfn | Duffield |Van Cleave| 1983 | pp = 225–251}}

Classical Pentecostal [[soteriology]] is generally [[Arminian]] rather than [[Calvinist]].{{Sfn | Railey | Aker| 1994 | p = 50}} The [[Conditional preservation of the saints|security of the believer]] is a doctrine held within Pentecostalism; nevertheless, this security is conditional upon continual faith and [[repentance]].{{Sfn | Duffield |Van Cleave| 1983 | p = 262}} Pentecostals believe in both a literal [[heaven]] and [[hell]], the former for those who have accepted God's gift of salvation and the latter for those who have rejected it.{{Sfn | Duffield|Van Cleave | 1983 | pp = 524–525, 563–564}}

For most Pentecostals there is no other requirement to receive salvation. Baptism with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues are not generally required, though Pentecostal converts are usually encouraged to seek these experiences.{{Sfn | Livingstone | 2013 | p = 431}}{{Sfn | Arrington | 1981 | pp = 1–2}}<ref name=Pew16-17>The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (2006). [https://pewforum.org/2006/10/05/spirit-and-power/ Spirit and Power: A 10-Country Survey of Pentecostals] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190131201306/http://www.pewforum.org/2006/10/05/spirit-and-power/ |date=2019-01-31 }}. "While many renewalists say they attend religious services where speaking in tongues is a common practice, fewer tend to say that they themselves regularly speak or pray in tongues. In fact, in six of the ten countries surveyed, more than four-in-ten Pentecostals say they never speak or pray in tongues," pp. 16–17.</ref> A notable exception is [[Oneness Pentecostalism|Jesus' Name Pentecostalism]], most adherents of which believe both water baptism and Spirit baptism are integral components of salvation.
