HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN

THE BIG QUESTION...

"If you had died the minute you started reading this, do you have the assurance that you would be in heaven?"

The Bible says there are four things a person must know to go to heaven:

1. "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. This means we have all sinned and we fall short of Jesus, God's Glory.

2. "For the wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23(a). Our sins have earned a wage and that wage is death or separation from God in Hell.

3. "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23(b). God offers us the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We must receive God's Son, Jesus Christ, to receive His gift of eternal life.

4. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come to him." Revelation 3:20. Jesus stands at the door of your heart waiting for you to invite Him in as Savior.
 

So taking Him as your Savior is the next step. How? Simple. Talk to Him. Simply ask God to save you.


Pray this suggested prayer now.

"Dear Jesus, forgive me for all my sins and save my soul. I repent of all my sins and ask you to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. Take control of my life, for I give myself to You. Thank you for hearing my prayer and saving my soul. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

Now that you have received Jesus Christ you can know that you are saved, because God has given you his word.

1 John 5:11-13 - "And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things have I written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life."

If it is your desire to become a member of HBBC, meet with the pastor at the altar during the invitation song and tell the pastor the method by which you would like to join:

  1. By Baptism - Any person professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, giving evidence of repentance for sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, willingly agreeing to submit to the teachings and practices of this church and upon baptism by immersion.

  2. By Letter - Members of other Baptist Churches may be received by transfer of membership from their previous church, and their indication that they are willing to submit to the teachings and practices of this church. We will contact your former church and request the transfer.

  3. By Statement - When the records of previous membership have been lost or destroyed, a person may be received by their testimony that they have been saved and have been scripturally baptized by immersion and indication of a willingness to submit to the teachings and practices of this church.  Scriptural Baptism is to be understood as an act of obedience after salvation and by immersion.
