In the unity of the one true and living God revealed in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 43:10-11, Matthew 28:19) 3. In the eternal deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, in salvation by faith through His shed blood, in His bearing our sickness and afflictions, in His death and in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His return to Earth in power and glory. (Hebrews 7:3, John 17:5, Matthew 1:23) 4. That all men are lost apart from the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9) 5. That sin is cleansed only through personal repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus. (Matthew 26:28, Acts 2:38) 6. That personal salvation is the result of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, who baptizes the believer into the body of Christ. (Titus 3:5, 1 Peter 1:3) 7. In water baptism by immersion as commanded by the scriptures. (Acts 22:16, Mark 16:16, Acts 10:47) 8. In Holy Communion called the Lord s Supper as observed in (1 Corinthians 11:23-26) 9.

In the church which is the body of Christ called of God to be a witness unto all the world. The church is to go out into the world and also to edify itself and build itself up in love through the ministry that God appoints and ordains for this purpose. (1 Corinthians 12:12, Acts 2:8) 12. In the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to this Earth and the catching up of the saints, of the literal establishment of His kingdom on this Earth, the thousand year millenium reign, and the final judgement, the white throne judgement, (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Revelation 1-7, Revelation 19:11-14, Revelation 20:1-6, Matthew 24:27, Revelation 20:12, Matthew 25:46) Discipleship_Objectives 05/28/03 4

5 An understanding of Biblical principles and where they can be taught from the scriptures is important. Unless we posses the Character that reflects Christ, this knowledge alone is useless. Demonstration of these concepts in the believer's life is just as, if not more important than knowledge of the Scriptures. Parts B and C of this checklist seeks to address these issues. Part B - Practical Skills Development As a result of a Leadership Development Program, the following skills should be developing in the leader's life. Development of a scripture memory system for easy recall and cataloging (3x5 cards?)
