Study and equipping, a plan of salvation

One of the plans of salvation I first studied upon
starting to attend my present church was the
following:

STEPS OF CONVERSION –
A PLAN OF SALVATION FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS

Hear the Word – Acts 2:37, Acts 3:6, Acts 8:35, Acts 9:4,
Acts 10:33, Acts l6:14, Corinthians 18:8

Believe – in God and Jesus, and in the Word – Acts 3:12,
Acts 3:13, Acts 8:37, Acts 10:43, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:34,
Corinthians 18:8

Repent – Sorry for sins and make a change in behavior –
Acts 2:38, Acts 11:18

4. Confess – Be willing to state your faith, to confess aloud
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Acts 8:37, Matthew 16:16

5. Baptism – Acts 2: 38, Acts 3:12, Acts 3:13, Acts 8:38, Acts 9:18,
Acts 10:47-48, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Corinthians 18:8

6. Continue faithfully in the Christian way of life with prayer,
Bible-reading, a personal relationship with God/Jesus through
the Holy Spirit, spreading the Word, continuing education in
the faith, meeting together with other Christians (helping and
uplifting them), living at peace with all people as with brothers,
and practicing love to all.

(the New Testament books of Romans and I Corinthians are
especially helpful for a new believer, and Ephesians and
James are very good reference reading too.)
