Obedience to the faith, Obeying the truth, gospel, doctrine How does one obey the gospel in order to become a Christian?

God’s Requirements For Forgiveness of Sins: Becoming a disciple –Acts 11:26 Becoming a member of the Lord’s body –1 Corinthians 12:12-13 Being Saved –Mark 16:16 Calling on the name of the Lord –Acts 2:21; 22:16 Becoming a disciple –A–Acts 11:26 Becoming a member of the Lord’s body –1–1 Corinthians 12:12-13 Being Saved –M–Mark 16:16 Calling on the name of the Lord –A–Acts 2:21; 22:16 Becoming a Christian is the same as:

Only Two Possibilities on Receiving Forgiveness of Sins SALVATION IS UNCONDITIONAL –If true – God saves everybody (Romans 2:6-8) –OR He arbitrarily saves some and condemns others (Acts 10:34-35) SALVATION IS CONDITIONAL –If true – God saves those who accept His terms for salvation (Hebrews 5:9)

Conditions Placed on Receiving Forgiveness Faith –True belief that Jesus is the Son of God John 8:24; Rom 10:17; Heb 11:6 Repentance –Change of will and action away from past sins Acts 17:30; Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19; 26:19-20; 2 Cor 7:10 Confession of faith –Public acknowledgment of one’s belief Rom 10:9-10; Matt 10:32-33; John 12:42; 1 Tim 6:12-13 Baptism –Immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS Acts 22:16; 2:38; 8:38; Rom 6:3-4; Gal 3:27; Col 2:12 Faith –True belief that Jesus is the Son of God John 8:24; Rom 10:17; Heb 11:6 Repentance –Change of will and action away from past sins Acts 17:30; Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19; 26:19-20; 2 Cor 7:10 Confession of faith –Public acknowledgment of one’s belief Rom 10:9-10; Matt 10:32-33; John 12:42; 1 Tim 6:12-13 Baptism –Immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS Acts 22:16; 2:38; 8:38; Rom 6:3-4; Gal 3:27; Col 2:12

New Testament examples of individuals who became CHRISTIANS by meeting the terms of God’s forgiveness: The Jews in Jerusalem Acts 2:1-47 The Samaritans Acts 8:5-12 The Ethiopian Eunuch Acts 8:26-39 Saul of Tarsus Acts 9:1-19; 22:1-16 Cornelius and his household Acts 10:1-48 Lydia and her household Acts 16:14-15 The Philippian jailer and his household Acts 16:25-34 Crispus and his household Acts 18:7-8 The Jews in Jerusalem Acts 2:1-47 The Samaritans Acts 8:5-12 The Ethiopian Eunuch Acts 8:26-39 Saul of Tarsus Acts 9:1-19; 22:1-16 Cornelius and his household Acts 10:1-48 Lydia and her household Acts 16:14-15 The Philippian jailer and his household Acts 16:25-34 Crispus and his household Acts 18:7-8
