So What's Next?
After taking the step of repentance of sin and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, you are now entering a new life. But there is so much more to learn! The best is still to come! Let me give you a few places where you can get the food you need to build on your new life.
ABC's For Christian Growth - Laying The Foundation by J. Hampton Keathley III, Biblical Studies Press, 1996
Get into reading your Bible everyday and spend time talking to the Lord Jesus Christ. Walk with Him day by day. For further Bible study I recommend the following site:
Bible Studies by Biblical Studies Foundation
Let me also give you some hard won advice. You will need fellowship to grow in your new faith. It is essential for you to find a good Bible-believing Christ-centered church where you can grow in Christ. In other words, find a bible study group, church fellowship or denomination that holds the written Word of God, the Bible, as its highest authority in all matters of Christian faith and practice. Find a church group whose teaching centers on Jesus Christ, not anything or anyone else, not even the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, centers all true Christian worship on the Son.
Stay away from any church that is affiliated with or promotes televangelists on TBN or the 700 Club. Steer clear of gatherings using cell church materials, mega churches, those involved in the new Apostolic/Prophetic movement or that endorse the Toronto "Blessing" type counterfeit revival movements. Ask the leader of the group you want to join if they promote these things, and if they give you any answer other than "No" then find another group. Stay away from churches that endorse false prophets like Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and many other televangelists. As Christians we are commanded by the Lord to stay away from false teachers.
