BECOMING A CHRISTIAN
The church that Jesus established, the church of Christ (Romans 16:16), is different from every other church known to mankind and it predates every denomination. This video from the World Video Bible School provides a very understandable and logical explanation of how that one church began, its history over the past 2,000 years, and why one must be added to it to be saved.
The gospel plan of salvation
Before we can respond to God, we must realize our lost spiritual condition:
We must realize that we cannot earn our salvation:
In order to be saved we must respond to God's offer of grace and mercy. We must believe in God and in Christ Jesus through hearing his gospel:
We must repent:
We must confess the name of Christ before men:
Be baptized into Christ for the remission of our sins:
Once inside Christ, live a life of faithful, loving, obedience to Christ:
Revelation 2:10 - Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
If you have not obeyed the gospel, why not do so today?
Acts 22:16 - And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.
