Sharing with a
Spiritual Infant
or “Baby Christian”
A.The Point of Making a
DECISION.
B. Ask for a response to
these questions:
Do you realize that you
have SINNED against
God and others? (Rom.
3:23)
Do you understand and
admit that your sin has
SEPARATED you from
God. (Ps. 32:5; Isa. 59:2)
Do you REPENT (turn
away from) your sin?
(Acts 3:19)
A person is made right
with God by trusting in
Jesus’ PERSON and
WORK. (Acts 16:31).
Do you believe that
Jesus died in your place,
was buried, rose again
from the dead 3 days
later?
(1 Cor. 15:3-4).
Do you trust in what
Jesus did for you alone
for your SALVATION?
(Acts 20:21).
Is there any reason why
you shouldn’t trust in
Jesus and be CERTAIN of
eternal life? You can
choose to trust Him
right now.
2. Say: Through prayer,
confess your sin to God,
thank Jesus for dying for
you, and invite Him to be
the Lord and Savior of your
life.
Pray for the person.
A person who
believes and
repents of their sins
is baptized.
Are you willing to
baptized?
Will you commit to
FOLLOW Jesus, learn His
WORD, and join with
other believers to
become more like Him?
