Many people believe they are Christians because they were born in religious homes, go to church, or try to do their best to be good people. However, the Bible teaches that to become a Christian you must:
>>Acknowledge
that you are a sinner and have fallen short of God's standards; repent by asking God’s forgiveness and by turning away from your sins (Romans 3:23).
>>Believe
in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins (Romans 5:8), that He was raised from the dead (Matthew 28:5-6), and accept God’s forgiveness for your sins.
>>Confess
through prayer, your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord (John 1:12; Revelation 3:20).

You have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
You have been baptized by immersion after accepting Jesus as your Savior.
You understand that your baptism was a testimony of your faith, not the means of your salvation.
