To follow Jesus

 To follow Jesus. You believe he is the light of the world, sent by the Father. You put off your former life by uniting with him by baptism. You are recognised by existing Holy Spirit-sealed followers of Jesus, whose divinely authorised, Spirit-filled elders lay hands on you for you to receive the Holy Spirit too. You hold to the teachings of Jesus, never departing from adherence to them. You put off sinful ways and learn obedience in Lord Jesus’ ways, now your Lord and Master. You live a life of love towards those in the same body of Christ as you have become part of. You await the return of Jesus Christ and live worthy to be raised from the dead if you died before then, or made immortal by him if you remain alive. If you are worthy, you reign with him. Then the judgement of all by him.
