Believe
Hebrews 11:6
After you’ve heard the gospel, you have to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that he died for us all so that we have a chance to be with God the Father in Heaven. The bible says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Repent

None of us are perfect and we’ve all made mistakes. The important thing is that you repent of your past sins. The Bible says, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”

Confess
Acts 8:36-37
After hearing, believing, and repenting, you must confess that Jesus is Lord, and that he’s the Son of God. There’s a story in the Bible of a man named Phillip who was with another man who wanted to be baptized. He said,“See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

Baptism
Acts 2:38
Baptism is the last essential step for reaping all the benefits from God the Father. The Bible says that you must believe AND be baptized in order to be saved.

The Bible, said “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
