4. Do you truly understand the Gospel that Christ died and rose again for your sins (1 Cor. 15:1-4)?
5. Do you understand and confess that you cannot save yourself (Eph. 2:8-9)?
6. Did you sincerely repent of your sins to turn from them, or do you secretly love and enjoy sin (Mark 1:15; 6:12; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30-31; 2 Cor. 5:17)?
7. Have you trusted in Christ, and Christ alone, for your salvation (John 14:6; Acts 4:10- 12)?
