Jesus sent His disciples out to preach the gospel. Matt 28:18-19; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:47.

1. One hears the gospel

Rom. 10:17, "So belief (cometh) of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." ASV

2. One then believes the gospel

Rom. 10:17, "So belief (cometh) of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." ASV

3. One then repents of past sin

Acts 2:38, "And Peter (said) unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." ASV

4. One Confesses Christ

Rom. 10:9-10, "because if thou shall confess with thy mouth Jesus (as) Lord, and shall believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation". ASV

5. One is then Baptized

Acts 2:38, "And Peter (said) unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." ASV

After one has complied with the instruction from God relating to acquiring salvation he is then added to the church by the Lord, cf., Acts 2:47, "praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved." ASV
