I. Believe the gospel
I Corinthians 15:1-4
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind
you of the gospel I preached to you, which
you received and on which you have taken
your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved,
if you hold firmly to the word I preached to
you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of
first importance: that Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he
was buried, that he was raised on the third
day according to the Scriptures,

Romans 10:9-10
If you declare with your mouth,
“Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is
with your heart that you believe and
are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you profess your faith
and are saved.

Acts 8:34-39 The eunuch asked Philip,
“Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking
about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then
Philip began with that very passage of
Scripture and told him the good news
about Jesus. 36 As they traveled along the
road, they came to some water and the
eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What
can stand in the way of my being
baptized?” 38 And he gave orders to stop
the chariot. Then both Philip and the
eunuch went down into the water and
Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up
out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord
suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch
did not see him again, but went on his way
rejoicing.
