Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3 NLT
11 Jesus ….’ 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:11-12 (NIV)
14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? Romans 10:14 NLT
3 Circles In 3 Minutes That Could Change Your Life
Right now, you can receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Here is a prayer just for you.
Lord Jesus, I have been living in brokenness. I no longer want to live this way. I want to live in your perfect design for my life. I believe in my heart you are the son of God, the son of man sent from heaven. You lived a sinless life, died on the cross for all sin and rose from the dead three days later. (Romans 10:9-10)
I confess you Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for loving me and accepting me.
Once Jesus is your Lord and Savior, you need to be water baptized.
Jesus commanded those who believed in him to go make disciples, then to water baptize them: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19 NIV
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Romans 6:3-4 ESV
Water Baptism is a public representation of that which saves the believer—one’s personal faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah.
What is “Baptism”? Romans 6:3-4 -Baptism is a symbol that we have died to our old life and been raised to a new life in Jesus. 2. Why should we be baptized? Matthew 3:13-15 – Jesus received baptism, so should we. Receiving baptism means we have identified Jesus as our Lord. 3. Who should be baptized? Acts 2:38 – Everyone who repents and believes. 4. How should we be baptized? Matthew 3:16 – Jesus went down into the water.
… Be Filled with the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 5:18 (NLT)
But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] … Acts 1:8a- Amplified Bible
When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will also receive a prayer language from the Holy Spirit called speaking in tongues.
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:2-4 NIV
1) How can a person receive the gift of the Holy Spirit?
Through the laying on of hands
Then when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied. Acts 19:6 NLT
2) Or the Holy Spirit comes upon those who believe.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, Act 10:44-46 NIV
Your Heavenly Father will give the gift of the Holy Spirit to those who ask.
… how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:13 NIV
