THE WAY TO HEAVEN
There are only two ways--one leads to hell and the other leads to heaven. (Matt. 7:13, 14).
I. WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
1. Hear God's Word. (Rom. 10:11-18; Jno. 8:32).
2. Believe in Christ. (Jno. 20:31; Heb. 11-6).
3. Repent of all past sins. (Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30).
4. Confess faith in Christ. (Matt.. 10:32; Rom. 10:10).
5. Be baptized (immersed) into Christ for the remission of past sins. (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 2:38; Mk. 16:16; Gal. 3:26-27; 1 Peter 3:21; Acts 22:16; Acts 8:36-38; Jno. 3:5.)
II. WHAT CHURCH SHOULD I JOIN?
1. None. You cannot "join" Christ's church.
2. The same process tha makes one a Christian also makes him a member of Christ's church. (Acts 2:41).
3. Let Christ add you to His Church (Acts 2:47) after you have believed in Him, repented of all sins, confessed faith in Him, and been baptized into Him.
4. There is only ONE New Testament church. (Matt. 16:18).
a. There is one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism. (Eph. 4:5).
b. There is one Body. (Eph. 4:4).
c. The church is His Body. (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18).
d. Therefore, there is only one true New Testament church.
III. CAN ONE BE SAVED OUTSIDE THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?
1. NO. Christ purchased the church with His blood. (Acts 20:28).
2. He is the Saviour of the Body (Eph. 5:23) and the Body is the church. (Eph. 1:22-23).
3. All the saved are added to the church. (Acts 2:47).
