1. By
BAPTISM
This
is acceptable
for a person
who has been saved by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior and desires
to further obey Christ by being scripturally baptized
by immersion.
It’s as easy as A-B-C: |
|
A - Accept
Christ as your Savior. |
| |
|
B - Be
Baptized by immersion after salvation. |
| |
|
C - Complete
a Discipleship Training class. |

2. By
LETTER from another Baptist Church
This is
acceptable
for a person who is saved, has been baptized by immersion after
he/she was saved, and is a member in good standing of another Baptist
church, which will transfer him/her by letter to Franklin
Road Baptist Church.
At the end of every Sunday service, the pastor
will extend an “invitation.” Simply step into
the aisle and walk up to the pastor at that time. Tell the
pastor you want to become
a member of FRBC by TRANSFER OF LETTER from another Baptist Church
and he will direct you from there. |

Simply

Discipleship
Training
Discipleship
Training is an important
component of our ministry to welcome new believers
to the membership, whether done in a formal class or completed
by
the Pastor or the member’s assigned Deacon. This
Orientation includes: 1) Salvation, Baptism & The Lord’s
Supper; 2) FRBC’s
Mission & Core Values; 3) What We Believe & Why, and 4)
Organization, Staffing & General Operating guidelines of the
Church. These early answers to questions will assist the new
believer in developing
important spiritual disciplines, like Bible Study and Prayer. Equally
important, a new Christian will have a better understanding of
how to discover their spiritual gifts and use them in serving Christ.
