Here are some simple but effective suggestions and teach to help the church follow-up with the new believer.
1. Celebrate with the new believer the significant decision they have made in trusting Christ as Savior.
2. Call attention to the importance of baptism.
3. Call attention to the fact that baptism proclaims we are unashamed followers of Jesus Christ.
4. Emphasize that individuals who are baptized are those who:
have already trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior
understand baptism does not bestow salvation
demonstrate their obedience to Christ and the Scripture
are not ashamed to follow Christ's example
desire to identify their lives with the local New Testament church
proclaim Christ's death
