DISCOVER
the joy and fulfillment that only a relationship
with Jesus Christ can bring

"Then Peter said unto them, 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". (Acts 2:38 )

BELIEVE
that Jesus Christ is Lord and died for your salvation

"....that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins". (Acts 10:43)

"And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord". (Acts 22:16)

Repentance - To repent of your sins means to acknowledge your sin and ask Jesus to forgive you (1 John 1:9). Repentance is asking Jesus to cover your sins with His blood (1 John 1:7). The great truth is that He will!

In repentance, there must be a commitment on your part to change your lifestyle and to adhere to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Turn around and walk the other way! "Old things are passed, behold all things become new". (I Corinthians 5:17)

Baptism - The word baptism means to immerse. Since baptism is burial, it stands to reason that you must be put under. The purpose of baptism is to remit or wash away your sins.

Where does the power lie to wash away your sins? It's not the preacher and it's not the water. Something must be said over you that has all power.The name of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only name with all power. (Matthew 28:18)

The only way the Apostles baptised was in the name of Jesus. If you can find people being baptised in any other name in the Bible please contact us, we are yet to see it. (Acts 2:38, Acts 8:6, Acts 10:47-48). You must be baptised in Jesus Name!

Even if you have been baptised another way, you still need to be baptised in the name of Jesus. (Acts 19:5)

RECEIVE
the gift of the Holy Ghost

"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance". (Acts 2:4)

Now your sins have been forgiven, they are "under the blood". Your sins have been washed away in the waters of baptism. You are now ready for the empowerment of Acts 2:38, the receiving of the Holy Ghost. The teachings of Jesus are very pointed when it comes to remaining empty after you have been "swept and garnished" (Matthew 12:43).

The Holy Spirit is:

• the Comforter (John 14:26)
• a well of Living Water (John 4:14)
• a river of Living Water (John 7:37-39)
• the Kingdom fulfilled (Romans 14:17)
• knowing you have the right relationship with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, 1 Cor 12:3)

Jesus told the disciples in Luke 24:49 ".... tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem , until ye be endued with power from on high". Again in Acts 1:8, just before the ascension, "ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you". When you receive the Holy Spirit you will speak with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (Acts 2:4).

"For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days". (Acts 10:46-48)

LIVE
a complete life in Jesus Christ

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new". (2 Cor 5:17)

Acts 2:38 is the beginning of the ULTIMATE experience of walking with God.

• It is so great that the prophets desired to have it (1 Peter 1:10)
• It is so great that the angels desired to experience it (1 Peter 1:12)
• It is so powerful that it changed the apostles into world changers

Acts 2:38 will make a difference in your life also. You, alone, cannot have power over habits, mistakes, abuses and failure of the past. Acts 2:38 will accompany you to your past, your present and to your future. Acts 2:38 will change your life!
