Salvation
Here’s an example of a prayer to pray to God sincerely in order to be saved and have a new relationship with God:
Lord Jesus,
I believe that you died on the cross for my sin.
Lord, forgive me of my sins,
cleanse me and make me new.
Jesus, I believe that you rose again, that you are alive.
Come into my heart, come into my life.
I trust in You alone to save me and give me eternal life.
If you’ve prayed to receive Jesus into your heart, congratulations! Welcome to the family of God!
The Bible says that the angels in heaven rejoice over one sinner who repents (Luke 15:10), and we do, too!

Baptism
Jesus set the example for us to follow in being baptized (Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, and Luke 3:21-23), which the Apostles and early church continued afterwards, baptizing all who believe (Acts 2:38-41; 8:37-38; 10:48).
Baptism is an outward, physical demonstration of the inward, spiritual reality of salvation that has taken place in a believer’s life. The immersion in water (the Greek word “baptize” literally means “to immerse, douse or saturate”) symbolizes the sin that has been washed away (Acts 22:16), the believer’s union with Christ in His death and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12) and thus their initiation into the global body of Christ (Galatians 3:26-28).
At Discovery, we regularly celebrate baptisms, which are one of the highlights of church life!
