ACTS 2

 

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

 

                        WE ARE TWELVE STEP RECOVERY CHRISTIANS

 

REPENT

Step One: We admitted that we are powerless over the sin in our lives and as a result our life actions and attitudes had become unbearable to ourselves and to others, including God.

 

BELIEVE

Step Two: We came to believe that Christ Jesus is an actual saving Power, Who can restore us to sanity and wholeness.

Step Three: We made a decision to commit our lives to Christ Jesus as portrayed in the New Testament of the Bible.

 

CONFESS TO ONE ANOTHER

​

Step Four: We made a fearless oral moral inventory of our lives

 

Step Five:  We admitted the exact nature of our wrong attitudes and actions to God, ourselves and another human being.

​

COMMIT AND BE  BAPTIZED

Step Six We humbly submitted to the saving Power of Christ's Death and Resurrection through our public confession of faith in Him and Baptism in water and the Holy Spirit.

 

BE TRANSFORMED

​

Step Seven: We were entirely ready to surrender our characters' attitudes and actions to be reborn in Christ through the saving Power of His Death and Resurrection through the Holy Spirit.

 

Step Eight: We made a list of all the people we had harmed with our attitudes and actions and became willing to make Gospel based amends to them all.

 

CHANGE YOUR ACTIONS

 

Step Nine: We made direct, Gospel based amends to repair our relationships with such people whenever possible, except when doing so would cause hurt or injury to them or others.

 

Step Ten: We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong in our actions or attitudes we promptly admitted it to ourselves, to God and another human being.

 

CHANGE THE WORLD-ONE PERSON AT A TIME

 

Step Eleven: We sought through Bible based prayer, meditation and Holy Communion, as understood in the Gospels, to improve our conscious contact with God, and our care for others, praying for the knowledge of God's will and destiny for us and the Divine Power to carry that will out, one day at a time.

 

Step Twelve: Because of the spiritual rebirth that we experienced as a result of God working through these steps, we carry this Good News to other people struggling in life, and to practice these Gospel principles in all of our affairs.
