Are you interested in becoming a Christian, but not sure how to do it? Do you want to know what the bible has to say about how one becomes a Christian? May be you're already a Christian and you just want a quick recap on the process. The following slideshow will provide you with the 6 steps everyone needs to follow before they can be considered a Christian, and back up each point with scripture. It is my hope that this guide might reach someone who is actively seeking salvation and will help aid them in some way.

Congratulations! You've already completed the first step towards salvation. The bible tells us, that faith comes by hearing. You can't believe in something you've never heard of. All journies begin with a single step, and you just took your first step towards salvation.

Now that you've heard the word, it's time to decide if you really believe it. Every person needs to look deep inside of themselves to make up their mind if they truly believe that the bible is the inspired word of God, and Jesus is the son of God and was sent to Earth to die for our sins. These are fundamental beliefs that all Christians should have. Jesus said himself that if you don't beleive in him that you will die in your sins. Belief is the foundation of every Christian's core. It is the cornerstone of our faith. Without strong belief you will probably fall from the faith, and you run the risk of being lead astray by false teaching. So it is of the utmost importance that before moving on you decide if you truly believe or not.

Now that you have heard and believed God's word, the next step is to repent. Repenting means recognizing that you have beeen living a sinful life, feeling remorseful about it, and then changing your life for the better. Everyone has sin in their life and no one can be saved without repentance. You can't be saved and then continue living a sinful life, you must chose one or the other. You need to change your lifestyle and get into a right relationship with God. It's God's wish that everyone, no matter who they are would come to repentance. God will forgive you of all your past sins, but it's up to you to ask him for his forgiveness.

Cofession is the next step towards salvation. We need to be willing to stand before God and man, and say with our mouths that we believe that Jesus is the son of the living God and he was raised from the dead for our sins. It's important that we be willing to make this confession for the whole world to hear, because if we confess Jesus now, he will confess us later. You can't be a follower of Christ and be ashamed of him. We need to always be proud of who we are, and who we follow.

Everyone has sinned, no matter how "good" of a person you are and sadly it's this sin that will keep you out of Heaven. Baptism is the solution. Baptism washes away our sins, and adds us into the church. Baptism is the symbolic representation of Christ's death, burial, and resurection and therefore requires a full emersion into some entity of water. It doesn't matter what kind of water, or where it is, as long as you become completely submerged. Once we are baptized we become one with Christ, and we become the children of God. This means that one day when we die, we will be allowed to enter into Heaven and live for all eternity with God and his angels. Don't let anyone tell you that baptism isn't critical for the salvation of your soul, because it absolutely is. Unless you are baptised, your soul will be lost.

Congratulations! You have done everything needed to become a Christian, so that means you're done right? Wrong. Becoming a Christian isn't a one time deal, but rather a life long comitment. You need to dedicate yourself to serving the Lord for the rest of your days. Being a Christian takes serious dedication from start to finish. Some people would have you believe that once you're saved you're always saved, but sadly that's not the truth. Sin can seperate you from God at any time, and keep you from reaching your eternal reward in Heaven. But luckily God has given us the ability to pray to him, and ask him for forgiveness of our transgressions. You don't have to be perfect, but you need to continually strive to do better.
