Even if you were baptised, believing that Jesus is your saviour, that wouldn't mean you had become a Christian....Is it possible to be a Christian if I haven't been baptised?
Thanks for the help.
Salvation is deliverance, deliverance from sin in the New Testament context.
"Sin" is falling short of God's nature (Romans 3:23) - something you cannot stop doing unless you receive that nature by receiving God's Spirit:
"he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5)
"they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." (Romans 8:8-9)
Get baptised *believing the above* AND pray to receive the above, it will be known when you have received salvation (and when you havn't) - see Acts 2:4, 33, 39; 8:12-18, 10:44-48.
Most "churches" won't tell you what I just told you, BUT, Jesus only set up one church, you only need to join that one - see Acts 2:37-39 for details.
