ADVICE FOR NEW BELIEVERS.
1. Be baptized by immersion.
Act 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
2. Join a Doctrinal sound, Bible-believing, teaching, preaching Church. If you live in the Belle Fourche area, I invite you to come to worship and study the Bible with us. We study the Bible verse by verse.
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
3. Pray – talk to God. 1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
A – Adoration – A good place to start is to read the Psalms. Acknowledge God’s greatness.
C – Confession of sin.
T – Thanksgiving: we have so much to be thankful for – especially for salvation.
S – Supplication – what are the needs of others and yourself?
4. Study and memorize God’s Word. Psalm 119:11 Thy Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.
5. Fellowship with other believers. Join a “Bible-believing” church that teaches the whole Word of God. Contact me if you want some guidance on finding a church.
6. Tell others about your decision, and how they can know Jesus also.
7. Please contact me and tell me about your decision.
