Baptized But Not Converted Acts 2:36-41

Why Is This True? Answer may be found in answering the question: "How does one become a Christian?"

How Does One Become A Christian? Hear Believe Repent Confess Baptized

A One Time Event! Baptized -

These Are Not “Over And Done With”! These Are Not One Time Events! Hear Believe Repent Confess These Are Not “Over And Done With”! These Are Not One Time Events!

Hear Acts 2:37 – What needs to be heard? Why this response? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 "died for our sins" Many refuse baptism because they fail to see the need to be!

Believe Not just believing thing heard is true. Must believe Jesus is Lord. Lk. 6:46 Will not doubt or question His will. Hear lessons on faithful service but do nothing about it - nothing changes! Acts 27

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!

Confession This is a commitment. Acknowledging Him as Lord/Ruler. Romans 10:9,10 1 Peter 3:15 (ASV) Galatians 2:20

Baptism 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.

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Hear the gospel. (Romans 10:17) Believe Jesus is Christ. (Acts 8:37) Repent of your sins. (Acts 17:30) Confess your faith. (Matthew 10:32) Baptized for remission of sins. (Acts 2:38) Faithful unto death. (Revelation 2:10)
