- WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?
Now
that you have given your heart and life to the Lord Jesus
Christ you will want to attend church regularly.
It
should be a church where pastor and people believe 100% in
the Bible - its authority, validity, and infallibility.
I
would like to recommend you to attend a church that
teaches all that Jesus Christ taught when He was here upon
the Earth. I would strongly suggest that you attend
a church that is Full Gospel and believes in present day
miracles and healing for the sick, wrought in Jesus' name.
I
would strongly recommend a church that believes in, and
practices Water Baptism by immersion. After you have
given your heart to Jesus Christ you will want to follow
the Lord's command and be baptized in water.
I
would encourage you to attend a church where they believe
the Full Gospel and allow the Holy Spirit of God to have
His way.
Always
remember that God's word is the final authority and the Bible has the
answers to every question and problem. God will lead you and direct you.

candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth
them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (KJV)
