Exploring Christ - Definition

The major intent of the first level of the Come and See phase is to introduce a non-believer to Jesus Christ, guide them through the process of accepting Jesus as their personal Savior. A disciple who has completed this phase has come to understand that Jesus Christ is God and has accepted Him as his/her personal Savior. They have given testimony of their faith in Christ by being publicly baptized and regularly participate in personal and public worship.

Duration: 4 - 24 months or longer, depending on the point from which the person begins.

Disciple’s Involvement:

· Asks questions, seeking truth.

· Sees personal spiritual need.

· Attends public worship.

· Begin personal Bible reading and prayer.

Commitment: Moves from doubt to faith, from hesitant, casual or no participation to regular personal and public worship.

Distinctives:

· Low commitment.

· Strong emphasis on attraction rather than on training.

· Comes to believe in and personally accepts Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

· Worships: publicly and personally.

Transformational Indicators: By the end of the Follow Me phase a disciple should demonstrate the following beliefs, values, behaviors, attitudes, character traits…

1. Is introduced to and develops a sincere interest in Jesus and spiritual things. John 6:44

2. Hears the Good News and becomes convinced that Jesus is God. John 20:31

3. Accepts Jesus as His/Her Personal Savior. John 3:16

4. Identifies publicly with Jesus and is baptized. Romans 6:4

5. Worships God, personally and publicly, experiencing the power of God. Hebrews 13:15

For a more detail on the four spiritual growth phases read Bill Hull’s classic book, Jesus Christ, Disciplemaker.
