Just out of curiosity, how old were you guys when you were redeemed out of this world?

I started believing I was saved at the age of 14. It took me 25 more years to realize I was not saved. At the age of 39 I repented , confessed and was baptized for the remission of sin in the name of the Father , Son and Holy Spirit.

Simply repenting isn't enough for the unsaved. You must obey all of God's commands.

Please feel free, to elaborate upon that, distinctly, concisely and specifically.

Shalom

I have went through this many times on this forum already. I will tomorrow again, for now it its late, I'm tired and I should be sleeping.

Do as you are led.

Here is God's plan of salvation.

1. You must HEAR the message of the gospel, Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God".

2. You must BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (John 8:24 and Mark 16:16). John 8:24 says, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins". Mark 16:16 says, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned".

3. You must REPENT of your sins. Acts 17:30 says, "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent". Acts 2:38 says, "And Peter said to them,(A) "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit".

4. You must CONFESS with your mouth your faith in Christ Romans 10:9-10 says, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" 10 says, "For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation".

5. You must be BABTIZED into Christ for the remission of sins.
Mark 16:16 says, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned".
Acts 2:38 says, "Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit".
Romans 6:3-4 says, "Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death" and "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life".
1 Peter 3:21 says, "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life".

6 Finally, you must live a FAITHFUL Christian life of continuous service in the church of the Lord. Revalation 2:10 says, "Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life".

Baptism is NOT salvation.

it is apart of it, or do you split god's word in half and throw the rest away and say it does not matter
