__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Bible teaches that trusting Jesus to be your Savior means that we must be born again. To be born again we must acknowledge our sinfulness. We all have sin, we all fall short of God’s holiness. Our sins are the culmination of decisions to follow our selfish, stubborn and rebellious ways.
Repentance is when we turn from those ways to follow the way, Jesus Christ. We all are invited to repent by faith. Jesus told us that we must be born of the water and the Spirit. Our faith will lead us from repentance to baptism.
Baptism immerses our old ways in the name of Jesus Christ, that we might identify with His death, and arise with a clean conscience a new creation.
We are PROMISED that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit, just like the early church.
