TELL OTHERS OF the commitment you’ve made, and be
baptized to make your commitment final.
These two acts are
outward confessions of the inward decision that we have made. God knows that, “putting
our money where our mouth is,” is what makes our decision firm. Although they are outward
acts, these are no less important in our decision to live for
Christ, than the inward decision that we have made. They are, in fact, the
first step forward in the wonderful life that you have just
begun!
9 That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:9-10

32 Whosoever
therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also
before My Father Which is in heaven.
Matt. 10:32
38 Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts
2:38
16
And now why tarriest
thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the
Name of the Lord.
Acts 22:16
