What Is The New Testament-Patterned Church? - Part 1

by: Craig Harbin

It teaches the complete truth on HOW TO BE SAVED

1. Salvation is necessary because all people have sinned and deserve to end up in an eternal Hell. (Romans 3:23)

2. God is good and gracious and has provided His Son Jesus as payment for our sin through His death on the cross. (John 3:16)

3. God's grace must be accepted by our actions and obedience to His word. (James 2:24)

4. Faith is acknowledging that Jesus is God and died for me (John 8:24). Repentence is changing my mind about sin (Acts 3:19). Confession is public acknowledgement of my decision to serve Christ (Romans 10:9,10). Baptism is full immersion in water in order to die and rise again like Jesus (Romans 6:3,4).

5. Baptism is not for infants or young children because they are safe from sin (Matthew 18:2-4) and unable to recognize their need for Jesus at a young age (Mark 16:16)

6. Baptism is absolutely necessary to bring us into Christ and His saving work on the cross. Sincere baptism is followed by forgiveness of sins and the in-dwelling gift of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:38).

7. After being saved, Christians should continue to deny self (Mark 8:34), follow Jesus Christ and remain faithful until death (Revelation 2:10; James 1:12). Christians who do not remain faithful risk throwing away their home in heaven (Hebrews6:4-6)
