Baptism Into the "True Church"
| 1. THE NEW BIRTH MEANS REGENERATION, WITH ALL BELIEVERS BEING EQUALLY RENEWED. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BELONGING TO A CHURCH OR BAPTISM: | |
|---|---|
| Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible | 1Pe 1:23 |
| Be a new creation | 2Cr 5:17 |
| Ye must be born again | Jhn 3:7 |
| Except ye be born again, cannot see kingdom | Jhn 3:3 |
| All believers are united under one fold, one shepherd. | Jhn 10:15, 16 |
| 2. THE NEW BIRTH IS NECESSARY BECAUSE OF: | |
|---|---|
| All have sinned | Rom 3:23 |
| Wages of sin, death; gift of God, eternal life, | Rom 6:23 |
| Man's inability to renew himself in his present state | Jhn 3:3, 5 |
| Man's human flesh alone cannot accommodate eternal life | Jhn 3:6 |
| Man is under a curse and will die | Eph 2:1 |
| Deeds for the law, no man justified | Rom 3:20 |
| Offend one point of the law, guilty of all | Jam 2:10 |
| 3. THE NEW BIRTH IS INTRODUCED TO MAN BY: | |
|---|---|
| The Holy Spirit | Jhn 3:5, 8 |
| The Word of God. | Jam 1:18; 1Pe 1:23 |
| Man's Obedience | Rom 6:17, 18 |
| 4. THE STEPS TO RECEIVING THE NEW BIRTH: | |
|---|---|
| We acknowledge that NO ONE is good enough to receive | Rom 3:10 |
| We admit that sin brings death to any man | Rom 6:23 |
| We confess that we, too, have sinned | Rom 3:23 |
| We declare that Christ died for our sins | Rom 5:8 |
| We recognize Jesus as Lord and put our trust in Him | Rom 10:9-10 |
| Call on the Lord in prayer | Rom 10:13 |
| We accept the gift of eternal life | 1Jo 5:11-13; Jhn 5:24 |
| We seek to discover and live out God's plan for our life. | Jhn 10:10; 2Cr 5:17; 1Th 5:18 |
| 5. WE MUST CONFESS JESUS AS LORD: | |
|---|---|
| Confess Jesus before men | Mat 10:32, 33 |
| Confess with thy mouth, believe in thy heart | Rom 10:9, 10 |
