Basics for Baptist Believers Student Manual

Few would question the importance of discipling new converts. The problem lies most often in the logistics of actually getting the job done. There are a number of discipleship programs available from various groups. For those of us who are Baptist by conviction many of those programs leave much to be desired in terms of certain emphases. Further complicating our discipleship efforts is the fact that most discipleship materials were written some years ago and presuppose a background knowledge of the Bible that is hardly realistic in our day. An attempt has been made to look at the discipleship process through the eyes of a new believer. I have attempted to pose the questions which would most likely occur to a new believer. I have further attempted to arrange those questions in the order that they are most likely to occur. These lessons are written in order to lead the new believer to the Bible for the answers to his questions.
