Welcome to the lincoln church of christ in huntsville alabama
We believe one must be saved to become a disciple of Christ, as taught in the New Testament.
In order for a person to become a disciple of Jesus Christ, one must be willing to listen to Christ and do in their lives whatever He teaches (Matthew 10:24; John 8:31-32; Colossians 3:17).
Believe
Jesus made it clear in John 3:16 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Repent
Jesus continuously preached that people were to "repent" (Matthew 4:17). He denounced those who would not repent (Matthew 11:20-24). Jesus clearly stated that those who do not repent will perish (Luke 13:2-5). Repentance is to change the way we think and act in order to think and act like our Lord Jesus Christ and not the sinful world around us (Romans 10:2).
Confession
At some point, a person must go from those decisions of the heart to overt actions of obedience that demonstrate decisions in a person's life. For example, the decision to love someone is made within the heart, but is only powerful when expressed in action. God loved us (John 3:16) and expressed that infinite love in the most powerful way that love has ever been expressed, by sending Jesus to die on the cross (Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:10). As a disciple of Jesus Christ, one must be a light to the world (Matthew 5:14-16).
Baptism
Return to Peter's first sermon that led those Jews to ask, "what shall we do?" What did Peter say in response to their question on that day? He told them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38). Peter commands them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ in order to ("for" in Acts 2:38) receive the forgiveness of sins.
The last commands by Jesus Christ before He ascended to the Father were to preach the gospel, make disciples, and baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit (Mark 16:15-16; Matthew 28:19-20).
