1. Faith, 2. Repentance, 3. Water Baptism, 4. Spirit Infilling, 5. Continuance.Contrary to the tradition and "gutted" gospel of Christio-religious easy-believers, the doctrine of salvation introduced with the birth of the church in Jerusalem, Israel in the year 33 AD has never changed. The Bible's book of Acts records the early history of God's one and only church whose doctrines and teaching remain the basis for New Testament salvation as we "... are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;" Eph. 2:20. Though the world and human society seem to be ever awash in a turbulent sea of change and upheaval, God's word has not, does not, and will not change. This fact, providing an anchor of comfort and stability to many, also provides a very inconvenient obstacle to others who, as we have been forewarned, would attempt to "pervert the gospel of Christ." Gal 1:7.In "5 Steps to Salvation" analysis is applied to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles, specifically with regard to the New Testament doctrine of salvation. Whether this book serves simply as a refresher course for the reader, or introduces new biblical perspectives, may the truth of God's word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.

'This is a handbook on spiritual obstetrics, written out of deep concern that so many Christians have been badly 'delivered'. So often, later spiritual disease can be traced back to an inadequate initiation into the Kingdom. A better birth means greater growth in a healthy Christian life.' Basing his study on the New Testament, David Pawson advocates a synthesis of the 'liberal' emphasis on repentance, the 'evangelical' on faith, the 'sacramental' on baptism and the 'pentecostal' on the Spirit. He then relates these 'spiritual doors' to the concepts of conversion and regeneration. THE NORMAL CHRISTIAN BIRTH looks at crucial and controversial texts, challenging traditional interpretations. The final section on evangelistic counselling questions the adequacy of the typical 'sinner's prayer' approach. Drawing from scripture and experience, David Pawson gives many practical tips on helping potential disciples to repent, believe, be baptised and receive the Spirit. David Pawson has a worldwide teaching ministry, particularly for church leaders. He is known to many through Christian broadcasting and is the author of numerous books.

How does healing fit into God's will, especially when God doesn't heal? Our hearts, our bodies, and our world are desperate for healing. We all experience brokenness, and we rightfully look to Jesus for restoration. But many Christians have been taught the lie that God will heal us if our faith is strong enough, and that he is punishing us when bad things happen. Growing up in one of the world's leading faith-healing dynasties, Costi Hinn witnessed the tragedy of people chasing after healing more than the Healer. In this book he provides biblical clarity to some of the most challenging questions of the Christian faith. Does grace guarantee healing? How do we catch ourselves from slipping into the trap of seeking God for what he can do for us and not for who he really is? Beginning with the vivid memory of the night he discovered his son's cancer diagnosis—Costi unpacks the layered feelings and questions we have about God and his healing power, and he provides practical principles for growing closer to Jesus. With gentle clarity and biblical wisdom, he explains how to: Faithfully pray for healing while trusting in God's sovereignty. Navigate tough conversations about the topics of divine healing, love, and justice. Hold on to faith even in the most painful trials. More than chasing after the Jesus we want, this hopeful and encouraging book will guide you to discovering the Jesus we truly need—and the true power and hope that comes from a genuine relationship with him.
