    Salvation is deliverance from sin and eternal death. Salvation is provided for us by God's grace which He gives in Christ Jesus. One receives salvation and eternal life when he is born again.

     What must I do to be "born again"?
    Confess that you are a sinner and repent (become sorry for your sins) Romans 10:9-11; with sincerity, ask God for His forgiveness (I John 1:9); invite Jesus into your heart and by faith, accept Him as your personal Savior (Revelation 3:20); and make a complete turn in your life by forsaking your sins (John 5:14).

     Why must I be "born again"?
    You must be saved (born again) to escape damnation of hell (John 3:5, Matt 22:11-14, 25:41-46, Revelation 20:12-15). When one is saved by faith, the Spirit of Christ baptizes him into the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:13). When he receives the baptism of the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ Himself is the baptizer.

     Why does one need the baptism of the Holy Ghost?
    The Holy Ghost empowers the believer for service (Luke 24:49, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 1:8, Acts 19:2, Mark 16-17); is a comforter (John 14:16); is a teacher and a reminder (John 14:26); gives one power to resist the devil (James 4:7).
