Water baptism is not a pre-requisite to salvation.  It is an act of obedience AFTER one is already saved.\n\nBelieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and have faith in God by believing what scripture says.\n\nKeep this verse in mind:  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life."  John 3:16

Sanctification is a second, definite work of grace after salvation.  You do not "grow into" sanctification any more than you "grow into" salvation.  In sanctification the Holy Spirit cleanses the carnal nature from your heart.  We're still human and make mistakes, but we do not commit sin.  For sanctification, we consecrate our whole lives to God, our plans, future, everything and ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse us.  Look up on the some holiness websites on the search engine.  I think the Pilgrim Holiness has a good website.

My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die? \n\nGod says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.” \n\nIn the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How? \n\nFirst, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). \n\nBecause you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. \n\n“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). \n\nBut God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). \n\nJesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22). \n\n“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). \n\nAlthough we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie. \n\nMy friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross. \n\nIn Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ” \n\nSimply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior. \n\n“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). \n\n“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). \n\nWhosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved. \n\nSurely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer. \n\nIn Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.” \n\nJust take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it! \n\nGod’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith. \n\nYou say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today. \n\nIf His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understa

Repentance, Baptism in the name of Christ Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38)\n\nThis is the only thing that the UPC churches preach that is necessary for the steps of salvation. Anything else is not considered "steps to salvation".

the sacraments of the roman catholic church. they are god's promise to mankind made manifested. what jesus instituted. there are seven. baptism, confirmation, the eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders and matrimony. "the seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of christian life. they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the christian's life of faith. there is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of spiritual life."\n\nsacramentals "are institued for the santification of certain ministeries of the church, certain states of life, a great variety of circumstances in christian life, and the use of many things helpful to man.""sacraments do not confer the grace of the holy spirit in the way the sacraments do, but by the church's prayer they prepare us to receive grace and dispose us to co-operate with it."

Salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Well, it says that people who are lost (not saved) are in darkness. But when light shines around them, those saved people are shining and you can see them from millions of miles away. I also know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.com

You are saved when you have accept Jesus as your savior and ask him to come into your life.   Jesus died for your salvation.  \n\nSometimes we humans need to see a "miracle" or an answer to prayer to give us a boost in our spiritual lives.  I think you just had one.  \n\nGod honored your prayer so please do your best to honor God by keeping your promise.  It is you who will benefit by the knowledge of God's kingdom and His purpose and will in your life.  Believe me, God wants to bless you far more than you want to be blessed.  \n\nMay I make a suggestion about your bible?  I don't know which version you use, but I suggest you visit a local Christian book store and look through the many versions to find the one you understand the most clearly.  I prefer the Zondervan New International  Version Study Bible, but my husband prefers the New King James Version.  \n\nBefore you read the Bible, you should always ask that God open your eyes to the meaning and understanding of what you are reading.  Nothing will stop you from reading the bible quicker than not being able to understand it.\n\nFinally, have a plan to read it.  Most Bibles have a one year reading plan in them that includes daily readings from both the Old and New Testaments.  And do not be afraid to ask trusted Christians what a verse means.  You can study it together if you need to.

There are elements of truth in a lot of the answers - there is probably one big answer which incorporates a number of these concepts. I'll add a couple of points to consider:\n\nMatthew 7:21-23\n 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.\n 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?\n 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.\n\nMatthew 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;\n\nLuke 13:23-28\n 23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,\n 24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.\n 25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:\n 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.\n 27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.\n 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.\n\nFrom these 3 passages we see that those who preach & do miracles in His name, BUT ARE ALSO doers of iniquity, will be lost. Iniquity is sin. Sin is transgression against God's Law. God's Law was given to Moses on Mt Sinai (and he wrote it in the Torah/Books of Moses). Also the Word of God was with God & was God before creation (John 1:1); the Word was made Incarnate (John 1:14) - Yeshua the Messiah, who was perfect & sinless - i.e. he did not break any of the Laws of God in the Torah. He is the One who said: "Follow Me."\n\nIt puts this Proverb in perspective:\nHe that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. Proverbs 28:9\n\nA couple of other things to consider. God has NEVER tolerated paganism mixed-in with His worship. That didn't bother the pagan Roman Emperor Constantine - he added some Christian elements into his sun god worship and TERMED IT "Christianity." Evidently it didn't bother the Popes or the Reformers - for all the mainline denominations (Catholic, Protestant, non-denominational) still maintain the pagan traditions of man with Sunday, Christmas, Easter, etc.\n\nGod has given us Scripture which details when & how He wants to be worshipped. The Sabbath & the Festivals of the Lord is a starting point. Unfortunately, you won't find them on the secular, pagan-based calendars. Or on your mainline denomination church calendars!\n\nRevelation 18:4 "Come out of her my people."

What makes me saved?\nSalvation is about putting your trust in Jesus as your saviour. It's much more than just believing in Jesus' existence.\nSalvation is about the forgiveness of our sins. It's about becoming righteous in God's eyes. It means that you as an individual acknowdedge your sinfulness and that you ask God to cleanse you through the blood of Jesus.\nThat's the first step. The second step is a lifelong process!\nIt's a relationship with God as a Father. As a Christian we should endeavour to live a life that is holy and without sin.\n\nEphesians 1\n\n4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love  \n  \n\nIf you really trust in God and believe that you have been forgiven, it should show in your life.\nReal faith requires action. \nWe are saved by grace and not works but once saved, the works should follow.\n       \nJames 2\n\n14 \nWhat doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?\n15 \nIf a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,\n16 \nAnd one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?\n17 \nEven so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.\n18 \nYea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.\n19 \nThou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.\n20 \nBut wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?\n\nHope that more or less answers your question.

You must believe in Jesus alone; you must trust Him alone; you must accept Jesus' sacrifice for your sins alone and nothing that you do in any way. \n      Though there are no rules or steps to becoming a Christian, the following is a biblical summarization of what you need to know and do:\n\n\n      1. You must recognize your sinfulness before God: "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned" (Rom. 5:12, NIV) \n      2. You must recognize that your sin has caused a separation between you and God: "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear" (Isaiah 59:2). \n      3. You must believe that Jesus is the only way to God: "I am the way, the truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but by Me" (John 14:6). \n      4. You must ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins because Jesus has the authority to forgive you of your sins: "Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me'" (Matt. 28:18, NIV)...and \n      Jesus told you to ask Him for your requests: "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:14, NIV)...and \n      Jesus is the one who forgives sins: "But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins....'He said to the paralytic, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home"'" (Mark 2:10-11, NIV). \n      This last "step" is called receiving Jesus. John 1:12 says, "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God (NIV). \n      5. You must turn away from your sin "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30, NIV) \n     "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance" (Matt. 3:8, NIV) \n\n      If you want to become a Christian you must accept Jesus as your Savior. You must pray to Him and ask Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart. \n      He will. He loves you. Salvation is only a prayer of faith away.
