Step 1:

Salvation
The most important question to ask yourself is, “Have I come to a point in my life where I have invited Christ to forgive me and to take control?”

In the first chapter of John's Gospel, he declares that those who believe and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are given the right to be called children of God. In other words, when we come to place that we understand that we are sinners and have fallen short of God's standard, we can be forgiven by confessing our sin, declaring our faith in Jesus and placing our trust in Him for forgiveness today and salvation forever.

If you are ready to do that today, with a sincere heart, pray this prayer:
God, I thank you for giving me life. I recognize you as the creator of everything and that includes being my creator. 
You have made me to have a relationship with you, but my sin has broken that relationship.
I confess that I am a sinner and that I need to be forgiven. I thank you for sending your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sin. I believe that He is the savior of the world and I want to receive forgiveness through Him and commit my life to follow Him forever.
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen. 

 

Baptism
Baptism is an outward symbol that a person has entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ. It symbolizes what has taken place inwardly at the time of our salvation: our acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
It can also be described as:

  • Our sharing in His death and resurrection illustrated by going under the water, dead to our old life, then rising again in new life.
  • Our being symbolically washed clean, our sins being forgiven by His death on the cross.

When we are baptized, we aren’t only following Jesus example, but we are obediently following one of his commands. For us, it is the opportunity to share with the world that we now follow Christ. Baptism is the first and crucial step of obedience in a new and growing relationship with God.
