Now begin following Christ...

Step 1. Follow Jesus' example and receive water baptism.

Step 2. Join the visible Church.

Step 3. Always act in love.

Step 4. Confess your faith in Christ to other people.

Step 5. Grow in Christ toward holiness.

Step 1. Follow Jesus' example and receive water baptism. (Mat. 3:13-17).
Baptism shows that you have now become a follower of Jesus Christ: "But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized..." (Acts 8:12-17).
Water baptism is not merely a "likeness," it is really being united with Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection (Rom. 6:4-5).
You no longer live for yourself (Gal. 2:20).
Like circumcision in the Old Testament, baptism makes you a member of God's people (Col. 2:11-13),
and is the official seal of your believing (Rom. 4:9-12; Eph. 1:13-14),
for the forgiveness of sins and receiving of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38; 10:43-48; 19:1-6).

Baptism is not merely a "likeness," it is really being united with Christ:
Yes / No

The Holy Spirit then lives in your life:
Yes / No

You may continue to live however you want:
Yes / No

Step 2. Join the visible Church, as in Acts 2:41-42 and 47: "Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. ...And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved."
People who gather together for fellowship, communion, group prayer, the teaching of the Apostles are the Church, the body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23).
Her goal is the unity of the faith, growth toward the full stature of Christ (Eph. 4:11-16).
There you will find fellowship (1 John 1:3) and will prepare for mutual service and witnessing to other people about who Jesus Christ is.
Go to church often – "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together..." (Heb. 10:24-25).
Obey the leaders: they watch out for your souls and must give an account for you (Heb. 13:17).

We gather together for fellowship, communion, group prayer and instruction:
Yes / No

Christ left the apostles in order to give us correct teaching in the faith:
Yes / No

We can disregard our leaders if we want:
Yes / No

Step 3. Always act in love. The Lord gave us a new commandment: "Love one another..." (John 13:34-35).
All of the other commandments are contained in this commandment (Mat. 22:34-40).
Love for your neighbor is a trait of life in the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:13-16 and 22-25).
The most important gift of the Spirit is love (1 Cor. 12:31 - 13:13).
You can recognize true faith by good works done in a spirit of love (James 2:14-16; 1 John 3:16-18).
Whoever does not love, does not know God (1 John 4:7-9 and 19-21).
And genuine love turns away from evil and sticks to the good, but loves even one's enemy (Rom. 12:9-20; Mat. 5:43-48).

Love includes all the other commandments:
Yes / No

The most important gift of the Spirit is love:
Yes / No

Genuine love turns away from evil:
Yes / No

Step 4. Confess your faith in Christ to other people. Jesus Christ commanded those who want to follow Him to do this (Luke 9:23-26).
A good follower is not ashamed of his leader. The Apostle Paul, a follower of Christ, said: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." (Rom. 1:16).
Pray with believers for the power of the Holy Spirit for witnessing (Acts 1:8 and 14; 4:29-31; 1 John 4:13-15; 1 Cor. 12:3).
Christ teaches us to do this in Matthew 10:32-33 — "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven...."
Tell your friends that Christ is the only way to God (John 14:6; 1 John 5:12; Acts 4:11-12; 1 Tim. 2:4-6).

We need to confess Christ:
Yes / No

The Holy Spirit gives us power to witness:
Yes / No

Christ is the only way to God:
Yes / No

Step 5. Grow in Christ toward holiness. You already have eternal life right now: Jesus Christ Himself said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life" (John 6:47; 1 John 5:10-13).
Now, with God's help, work out your own salvation (Phil. 2:12-13).
Just as you began trusting Christ as Lord, so continue in Him (Col. 2:6-7).
Do not bring dishonor on your baptism and communion with Christ by living in lust (1 Cor. 10:1-13).
God calls every believer to holiness (Rom. 1:7; 1 Thes. 4:3-8; 1 Pet. 1:14-16).
The divine nature, in the person of Jesus Christ, has entered your life (2 Pet. 1:4),
and through the Holy Spirit, is transforming your life (Rom. 8:9-18 and 12,1-2; 2 Cor. 3:17-18).
God expects you to become holy (2 Cor. 7:1; Heb. 12:14).
In Christ and in the saints, He has left us examples to follow (1 Pet. 2:21-23; Phil. 2:3-11 and 3:17; 1 Cor. 11:1; 2 Thes. 3:7-9; Heb. 13:7). Imitate them!

Every believer is called to holiness:
Yes / No

The Holy Spirit transforms our lives:
Yes / No

God left us examples for imitation in Christ and the saints:
Yes / No
