Acts 2:38 Plan of salvation

#1: Repentance

Sin separates us from God. We must repent (turn away from) our sins. We do this by asking Jesus to forgive us and do our best to turn away from sin.

Luke 24:47; 2 Peter 3:9; Acts 2:38

#2: Baptism

We must be water-baptized (submerged) in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission (removal) of our sins.

John 3:5; Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5

#3: Infilling of the Holy Ghost

Once you have repented and been baptized in Jesus name, we are promised the gift of the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.

John 7:37-39; Acts 2:4, 2:38, 8:17-18, 9:17, 10:44-47, 19:6

#4: Living a Holy Life

Once we are saved, we maintain that salvation through living a holy Life to the best of our ability. We have to walk in the Spirit and establish a daily relationship with God. We are supposed to die to our old life and begin a new life in Christ separating ourselves from the world. Holiness should affect us inwardly and outwardly.
