303: Did you choose your church this way???
Then Peter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" Acts 2:37,38. In each of the major conversion stories in the book of Acts you will find the same pattern for becoming a Christian. Faith in Christ as the divine son of God, repentance from past sins, making known, or confessing, faith in Christ before men, and baptism for remission of sins. Would it not be wonderful if the millions of Americans who will choose a church in the next fifteen years would choose a church in this ancient, God-given way of becoming a Christian?
