Necessary preparations (7) to go out from and/or to become a Christian!
1. First realize where you stand! ☑
If you are a church member and/or Jewish and/or participate in a secular organization in that way, then you have no Heavenly Guidance and you are keeping a church idol with the guise of being a Christian! You will have to leave that church paganism to become a Christian with a living biblical faith, which really does not go together with the dead, worldly, idolatrous church faith!
If you are not church-going and have never been: then you start anew in your search for Christ Yeshua and for the one true God YHWH Who is a Spirit:
2. Saying goodbye to your old life ☑
Whether you are church-going or not: you will have to say goodbye to your old life without faith, without God's 10 Basic Rules, without (fulfilling) His Will, and without the necessary Fruit of Faith.
3. (10) Basic Rules as a start ☑
You are going down a narrow road, so you are slowly but surely leaving the broad church road or worldly road. Naturally, you do this with all 10 Basic Rules (Rev 14:12) given by God to Christ and Christians (Rev 1:1). Get to know them well and live by them, for they are still valid and serve as a starting point for Christians! Whoever goes against one of these rules of life goes against all 10 (James 2:10-11), which is called "sinning." While you strive to follow those rules where you "go wrong," ask forgiveness directly from Christ (John 14:13-14) or from God YHWH but by appealing to the5 name of Christ, whose name is Yeshua. Then you will be forgiven and stand clean again in your life on that narrow path.
4. Real Name Yeshua Needed!!!! ☑
Christ tells us in John 3:18 that you need his real name, and that is Yeshua. With another or false name, you are already CONDEMNED, he even says there. That makes sense, too, because false names (such as Jesus, Yeshu, Isa, etc.) are usually accompanied by a false, pagan idol, mockery, impersonal faith, and evil, worldly fruit. Always use the name Yeshua in your prayers to him and make it personal and real!
"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only son of God", John 3:18.
5. Praying to God and to Christ ☑
Christians know both the one true God YHWH who is a Spirit (John 4:24) and the Lord/High Priest of God the Christ who is called Yeshua. And you build a relationship with both of them by praying to them. So not only to God by appealing to the name of Christ (John 16:23), but also pray directly to Christ Yeshua (John 14:13-14), so that you will also meet him personally in this way!
6. Laying a consistent foundation of faith ☑
Now that you know both of them and are building a relationship with both, you will be able and willing to lay a consistent foundation of faith. The baptism of faith to Yeshua alone (Gal 3:27), thus only in his name* (Acts 19:5, Acts 8:16, Acts 2:38, Rom 6:3) Yeshua, followed by prayer with the laying on of hands (Acts 19:6, Acts 8:17-18) to connect with God YHWH who is a Spirit and receiving the Spiritual Gifts. Thus you are truly a Christian and equipped with the Gifts of the Spirit thus a Working Unity with God just as Christ.
* The church’s 3-name baptism (Matt 28:19) is a falsification!
7. Going out & working personally! ☑
Along the way, you will discover which Gifts you received and go out with them personally in your daily life. Always in accordance with the 10 Basic Rules, asking forgiveness where you sinned, and thus with God's Guidance. By being and remaining active in this way (!), you grow in the Fruit of the Spirit, and only in this way are you destined for eternal life!!!
