..the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

...there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

...in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, future return to this earth in power and glory to rule over the nations.

...in the blessed hope the rapture of the Church at Christ's coming.

...the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.

...regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

...in water baptism by immersion.

...the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to prevailing prayer.

...the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.

...in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.

...in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.

A relationship with Jesus Christ begins with your admission that you need God. You must admit you need God to do three things:

1. You need God to forgive you of your sins, those attitudes or actions that don't meet God's standards.

"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

(1 John 1:8-9).

2. You need God to give you eternal life.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Romans 6:23).

3. You need God to show you His purpose for your life.

"The thief [Satan] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." (John 10:10).

1. Believe That Jesus Died For Your Sins.

The penalty for your sin is death. But God loves you so much, He provides a way for you to escape that penalty.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).

Jesus can and will save anyone from an eternity without God. He died and rose again for your justification, to right your relationship with God.

2. Believe that Jesus Rose From The Dead.

"He [Jesus] was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification." (Romans 4:25).

Belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus for your sins is essential for salvation, but it is not enough.

"You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble."

(James 2:19).

You must do more than believe in Jesus. You must confess him as Lord of your life; He must be the one in control.
