WHAT ARE THE STEPS REQUIRED TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN?

The Eleventh Commandment

The Eleventh Commandment

Follow the prescription of Acts 2:38. 

       FIRST, Repent!   Then WATER Baptism follows Repentance, which REMITS YOUR PAST SIN.

       SECOND, the MIND of the HEART is cleansed to REMOVE THE DESIRE to SIN.

       But ONLY after the Holy Ghost Fire consumes you, can you be PUT IN THE SERVICE OF GOD.

      A baby BORN in the NATURAL OR SPIRITUAL COMES THE SAME WAY: 

       1st STAGE is water, 2nd STAGE is Blood, 3rd STAGE is Spirit.

       Water baptism shows that your repentance was genuine. 

       IT REMITS OUR PAST SINS BUT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR FUTURE SIN!

how to become a born again Christian

W M B ~ Now, the first step is “repentance towards God.” And then follows after that, is water baptism, “water baptism,” “Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.” 

See, water baptism follows, showing that repentance was genuine. Or, to “REMIT ” OUR PAST SINS, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FUTURE SIN. 

It only remits. “Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.” What for? “Remission.” 

TAKING AWAY OF PAST SIN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FUTURE. 

Just, your sin has been chopped off, WHAT YOU DID.

You can’t repent for what Adam done. You never done it; Adam did. 

You just get forgiveness FOR WHAT YOU DONE. THE OLD NATURE IS STILL THERE.

Let me take this board just a minute. 

[Brother Branham draws illustrations on the blackboard—Ed.] 

Now, here is a human heart. Now, I’m not…I’m a long ways from being an artist. Here is a HUMAN HEART; and here is a HUMAN HEART. 

Now, this one over here HAS A SNAKE in it, that’s sin, here he has his life. This one over here has a DOVE IN IT, which is the Holy Spirit, here HE HAS A LIFE. 

Well, this one here, he has MALICE, HATRED, ENVY; that’s what’s causing it, is this fellow here. 

Well, this one over here has LOVE, and JOY, and LONG-SUFFERING; and That’s what does it, down here.

Now, when you are asked, or you are FORGIVEN OF YOUR SINS, you’ve only done this, taken that away. 

But the thing that made you do IT IS STILL THERE. That’s THE OLD ROOT OF EVIL; IT’S STILL THERE. 

Notice, then you REPENT and are BAPTIZED in the Name of Jesus Christ, that HE FORGAVE YOU of your sins. Notice.

Then, secondly, comes SANCTIFICATION, which SETS OUR MIND IN ORDER FOR HOLINESS, to think right. Taken away…sanctification is a compound Greek word, which means “cleaned, and set aside for service.”

Then, the next, comes the baptism of the Fire and Holy Ghost, that God might dwell in us. 

And the Fire of God cleanses our hearts from sin, and puts the Holy Ghost inside. Then we bring forth THE SAME LIFE that This did, because That’s in us.

Notice, in the NATURAL BIRTH, when a woman gives birth to a baby. 

The NATURAL LIFE types the spiritual life. When a woman gives birth to a baby, the natural, the first thing happens is breaking of water, then blood, and then the spirit (the life). 

Grab the little fellow and spank him, and AWAY HE GOES, SCREAMING. 

[Brother Branham clapped his hands—Ed.] 

Water, blood, spirit.

And now when a baby is born into the Kingdom of God, he comes the same way: water, Blood, Spirit.

Now notice, SANCTIFICATION, the THIRD STAGE …

SECOND STAGE of it, CLEANSES THE MIND; sets the HEART, the MIND OF THE HEART, in order of holiness.

A man can REPENT of sins AND HE IS STILL THINKING of…Well, maybe he’s a—a IMMORAL MAN, every immoral looking woman he finds, IS STILL THERE. 

Maybe he’s a drunkard; every time he smells the drink, IT’S STILL THERE. See?

But then when he gets sanctified, that CLEANSES THAT DESIRE OUT OF HIM. See? 

︎IT TAKES THE WANT OF IT AWAY. ︎HE CAN STILL BE TEMPTED, BUT HE TAKES THE WANT OF IT AWAY. ● STILL, HE’S NOT RIGHT YET.

Then, he is baptized with the Holy Ghost and Fire. Cleansed, burnt out, cleaned up; and THEN PUT INTO THE SERVICE OF GOD.

Sanctification only SETS THEM ASIDE FOR SERVICE.
