First, you can be sure that God loves you unconditionally and desires to have a personal relationship with you.
““For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16).
Second, you need to admit your sinful nature to God, because this is what separates all of us from Him.
“For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard.” (Romans 3:23).
Third, you should stop trying to please God through your own efforts, and realize that salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ is a gift that none of us deserves.
“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” (Romans 5:8).
Finally, you just need to step in and truly accept God’s gift -- His Son, Jesus Christ.
“But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12).
So, now you know the basic steps to become a Christian. As a result, if you desire God’s gift of eternal life and fellowship with Him, you are as close as a sincere act of faith.
Jesus says,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6).
Jesus also says,
““Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends.” (Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Jesus is a matter of truly asking Him to come into your life, to forgive your sins, and to become your Lord and Savior. It’s not merely an intellectual undertaking, but rather, an act of sincere faith and heart-felt will.
If you want to receive Jesus now, and accept His gift of salvation, it's a matter of believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, and turning the rest of your life over to Him. This is not a ritual based on specific words, but rather, a prayerful guideline for your sincere step of faith.

“Lord Jesus Christ, I am sorry for the things I
have done wrong in my life, please forgive me. I now turn from
everything which I know is wrong. Thank you that you died on the cross
for me so that I could be forgiven and set free. Thank you that you now
offer me this gift of forgiveness and your Spirit. I now receive this
gift. Please come into my life by your Holy Spirit to be with me
forever. Come and be my Lord. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen”
"“Each of you must turn from your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
If you decided to become a Christian today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.
- Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
- Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
- Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
- Seek fellowship with other Christians. Develop a group of Christian friends to answer your questions and support you.
- Find a local church where you can worship God.
We would love to hear from you if you have prayed this prayer for the first time, so please get in contact with us.
What does it mean to be a Pentecostal church?
A Pentecostal church is one which places particular emphasis on a direct personal experience of God through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is a more widespread belief throughout different church denominations these days.
The name 'Pentecostal' is taken from the Jewish festival of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was first given to the disciples of Jesus (Acts 2).
We believe that the miraculous power seen in the Bible is still relevant and available today to those who follow Jesus, and are filled with the Holy Spirit.
