The Plan of Salvation

For the Bible Promise of SALVATION You must do five things:

    I. BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST

    Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

    II. REPENT OF YOUR SINS

    Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.

    Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    III. CONFESS THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST

    Romans 10:10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

    Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ the Son of the living God.” - Peter's Confession

    Acts 8:37 And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” - Ethiopian's Confession

    IV. BE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST

    Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

    Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    Acts 8:38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.

    V. REMAIN FAITHFUL

    Revelation 2:10 ‘Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
