Five Closing Steps

1. Qualifying Question - Does this make sense to you? Is there anything that I can clarify?
2. Commitment Question - Is there any reason that you would not repent and trust in Jesus right now?
3. Clarification of Commitment - ABCs - Admit that you are a sinner; Believe that Jesus lived the perfect life, died on the cross for your sins, and rose again from the dead; Confess that you need Him to be your Savior and Lord. Does that express the desire of your heart?
4. Prayer of Commitment - Pray through the ABCs; there is nothing magical about this prayer; it is simply expressing the desire of your heart to God.
5. Immediate Follow-Up - pray with them, have them tell someone within 24 hours, disciple them, etc. (See episode 17 for more info.)
