2.)
One must believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the
living God
(Matthew 16:16). Jesus said: "...if you do not
believe that I am He,
you will die in your sins" (John 8:24).
3.) We must repent of our sins in order to be
saved (Acts 17:30,31).
Jesus commanded that "repentance and remission of sins
should be preached
in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem"
(Luke 24:47).
4.)
One must confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
the living God
(Matthew 16:16). This great truth is the very
foundation upon which the
church of Christ is built (Matthew
16:18; Acts 4:11,12; 1 Corinthians 3:11).
When Philip preached Jesus to the Ethiopian eunuch, the
eunuch asked,
"What hinders me from being baptized?" Philip told him
he could be baptized if
he believed. The eunuch then confessed, "I believe that
Jesus Christ is the Son of
God" (Acts 8:35-38).
5.) One must be baptized in order to be saved.
Jesus said: "He who believes and
is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:16).
