In this episode we eat on the question asked by the Phillippian Jailer in Acts 16, "What must I do to be saved?" 

1. Believe in Jesus
   1. Specifically what the Bible says about who Jesus is (John 20:30-31) and what He did (1 Corinthians 15:1-5). It is the gospel message which produces belief (Romans 1:16; 10:17)
   2. What if a person refuses to believe? (John 8:24)
2. Confess
   1. Admit openly your faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9-10)
   2. What if a person refuses to confess? (John 12:42-43)
3. Repent
   1. Since God is proposing to save us from sin, it makes sense that we do our best to avoid sin. This may include learning which behaviors God prohibits (1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Galatians 5:19-21).
   2. What if a person refuses to repent? (Luke 13:5) 
4. Be Baptized
   1. Who? A believer (Mark 16:15-16)
   2. How? Immersion in water (John 3:23)
   3. Why? For the forgiveness of sins (Romans 6:3-6), 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 22:16)

Examples: 3,000 in Acts 2, Ethiopian Eunich in Acts 8, Philippian Jailer in Acts 16, Paul in Acts 9 & 22.
