4. Keep the right day of the week as God's Sabbath, and honor His seven annual Holy Feast Days as Sabbaths as well, instead of Satan's substitutes of Christmas, Halloween, Easter, etc.
Saturday is the 7th day of the week, not Sunday, the first day of the week. Several years ago, I did not feel this was important, but I was wrong.   I have researched this with a great passion. This is a VERY big deal with Yahweh and may ascertain whether or not we shall be marked by him.   Exodus 31: 12-18 spells it out pretty clearly in addition to the fourth commandment. It’s ALL about “who do you worship?”, God or Satan?    See http://www.detailshere.com/sabbathissue.htm   and http://www.detailshere.com/markofthebeast.htm
Remember, Satan likes to mimic God. He sneakily changed the Saturday Sabbath to a Sunday when the church was bringing over the pagans to Christianity to enhance the enrollment process and even before that during the time when Rome was persecuting the Christians and they needed something different to separate them from the Jews.   It was a political move, not a religious one. The real 4th commandment (see http://www.detailshere.com/tencommandments.htm )   SPECIFICALLY tells us what day to rest and worship, the 7th day of the week, not the first. Man does not have the authority to override God's wishes. See Revelation 22:18-19 for what happens to people who change God’s laws and word. There is NOT ONE PLACE in the bible that tells you to keep a Sunday Sabbath. There are also seven other sabbaths during the year as spelled out in Leviticus 23.   Most churches feel keeping these feastdays went out with the cross and were part of the Mosaic ceremonial laws. Other denominations feel they still apply. These are not just Jewish sabbaths. Ezekiel 20:20 says : "And hallow MY sabbaths (plural, not just referring to the weekly sabbath); and they shall be a sign between Me and you ...". Together with the true seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday), and keeping the clean/unclean food laws, these annual Sabbath days constitute the signature (sign) of Yahweh, the Creator of the universe. See also Isaiah 8:16, Hebrews 8:10, Exodus 31:13, Ezekiel 20:12, Exodus 13:9, and Hebrews 10:16. These texts clearly prove that Yahweh's Ten Commandment Moral law, and the Sabbath commandment in His law, constitutes the identifying seal and signature He places in the minds of His followers.
See www.detailshere.com/feastdays.htm as well as the bible lesson    here   and make your own determination.

It is NOT in question among Christians today which was the 7^th day of the old testament, Saturday. It is not in question that the 7^th day Saturday of old is still Saturday of today. It is not in question that the apostles as well as Jesus kept a Saturday Sabbath. What IS in question is if the ten commandments, God’s Moral Law, still applies. If you believe you don’t have to keep the ten commandments and they were part of Mosaic Law then the fourth commandment isn’t any different for you than the rest of them. But if you believe God’s Law, as written on the stone tablets by God Himself, and kept INSIDE of the ark of the covenant – SEPARATELY from the Mosaic Ordinances kept OUTSIDE of the ark of the covenant, still apply; then you need to consider keeping a Saturday, 7^th day of the week Sabbath as established in Genesis; long before Moses ever went to Mt Sinai and many years before any Jew hit this earth; and confirmed in Exodus 31:12-18.   See www.detailshere.com/sabbathissue.htm for more info on how the church changed Saturday to Sunday claiming they were God's voice on earth and had the power to change His times and laws. Revelation 22:18-19 speaks of the fate they will have coming for this. And see www.detailshere.com/newtestamentlaw.htm     for scriptural passages showing EACH of the ten commandments was brought over into the new testament; including the fourth.

We, meaning my family, all of us, belong to NO particular affiliation and DO keep a Saturday 7^th day Sabbath; as well as honor the 7 annual Feast Day sabbaths, and a lot of other affiliations today keep a Saturday Sabbath also; even some Baptist, Lutheran and Methodist churches today keep a Saturday sabbath. I read a lot of websites admonishing people for believing in the Bible and a Saturday Sabbath. They believe nothing stated in the old testament still holds today. They feel they should keep 9 out of the ten commandments; does that make any sense? Not to me.

5. Witness your faith to others. And use Tracts.
Don't keep it a secret because people might think you are a little strange talking about God and what's right and what's wrong. When he tells us to share the good news; he means just that. I get angered at the people who badmouth the Jehovah's witnesses or Mormons for their house to house tactics. I certainly don't agree with everything these people had to say to me over the years and I enjoyed showing my Catholic ignorance in front of them only to find out later, they were right and I was wrong about many issues (which is why I am no longer Catholic). But I have to give them an A for effort in trying to share the "good news"; because many people are just downright mean to them and slam doors in their faces; or issue profane words at them for bothering them, or call them kooks and cultists; it takes a lot of guts and fortitude to continue witnessing under those demeaning circumstances. In fact, in the book The Divine Revelation of Heaven by Mary Baxter, which you can read online at www.spiritlessons.com , she was shown that angels are keeping track of who and how many each of us brings to Jesus.
I believe when we die our body, our physical component goes back to the earth (dust to dust). But our soul (our mind - our harddrive) and our spirit make a journey to either heaven or hell at death.

6. Baptism - Get a full immersion Baptism if you have not already done so. Is it necessary for Salvation? Christ emphasized, baptism is necessary! It's in the Bible. (See John 3:5). " I am telling you the truth," replied Jesus, "that no one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven without being born of water and of the spirit". See www.detailshere.com/bornagain.htm for what being "born again" means and www.detailshere.com/baptism.htm for more on baptism.

Baptism demonstrates true repentance. Such repentance is a turning to believe, follow, and obey Jesus Christ, and is the only kind of repentance that will save us. True repentance must lead a person to the waters of baptism. In baptism we identify ourselves with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Jesus died, bearing our sins and paying the penalty for them in Himself. He was buried, taking our old life into the tomb with Him. He was raised from the dead, that He might give to us by the power of God, His new life, a supernatural resurrected life of peace and joy and victory over all that previously bound us. Are there any prerequisites for it? Among the prerequisites for baptism noted in the Scriptures are belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God (Acts 8:36,37) and repentance (Acts 2:37,38), and being of sufficient age (usually ten or older) to know what this is really all about. See the Word Document entitled "Baptism" for more information on this issue.

Anyway, get a handle on just those six items and you've got a good shot at being saved when He comes for us. Go to here for some more input on how to get to heaven. When is that? Maybe sooner than any of us think. See www.detailshere.com/urgentwarning.htm for some interesting dreams some gifted people are having.
