HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN? by steve finnell
How do men become Christians? They become Christians by believing and obeying God.
Galatians 3:26-27
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27 for all of you
who were united with Christ in baptism have been clothed with Christ.
(NIV 1973)
Does complying with denominational doctrine result in a person becoming a Christian?
The Roman Catholic
Denomination states that non-believing infants become part of the body
of Christ when they are sprinkled with water. Those infants become
Catholics, however, they do not become Christians.
Faith in Jesus
precedes water baptism. (Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized
will be saved...) NIV 1973) The Ethiopian eunuch heard the good news
about Jesus before he was baptized.(Acts 8:26-40) The 3000 on the Day of
Pentecost believed before they were baptized. (Acts Chapter 2) In every
conversion account in Acts they all believed before they were immersed
in water.
According to most
Baptists denominations water baptism is not essential for salvation.
They believe water baptism is essential in order to become a Baptist.
Being baptized in a Baptist church makes a person a Baptist; but does it
make them a Christian?
Question, do you know what your denomination teaches concerning becoming clothed with Christ?
Claiming to be a
Christian does not make anyone a Christian anymore than claiming to be a
medical doctor makes a person a physician.
