Actually, that is the start, but to be a Christian, one is requried to be baptized with water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost by someone who is already baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
That baptism is indelible and, whatever the person does thereafter, includes the person in the visible Body of Christ.
I disagree.
The Bible says in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 5:24 says Truly, truly , I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and died not come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life.
John 11:25-26 says “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
there are many more verses in the Bible supporting my belief. I believe I. Baptism, but as a profession of your faith after accepting Christ as your Savior.
Outside of the scriptures in The Bible I don’t believe anything else. If you disagree your free to do that, but I’m saying I believe what the Bible says, salvation is so easy and free!
