Will not doubt or question His will.
Hear lessons on faithful service but do nothing about it - nothing changes!
Acts 27

8. Repentance A "change of mind and will".
Some baptized who haven't repented!
Some even deny necessity of doing it!
Example: Some guilty of adulterous marriages are being told it’s OK!

9. Confession This is a commitment. Acknowledging Him as Lord/Ruler.
Romans 10:9,10
1 Peter 3:15 (ASV)

Though many reject baptism, this may be the only one of the "five steps" some have obeyed.
Being a Christian is more than just outwardly conforming to certain acts.
