LESSON 8

                                              AFTER THEY'RE SAVED


                So  you successfully led someone to Christ and they accepted Him.   Now
                what?

                                                    VERIFICATION

                Follow-up  questions  are  very  important.    They  help  you  determine  if  the
                person really got saved.  And they can help give the convert assurance that

                he is saved.

                Sometimes,  someone  will  pray  "Lord..."  and  not  actually  say  "Jesus."
                Sometimes  those  people,  in  their  mind  and  heart,  really  were  talking  to
                Jesus.    So  to  clarify,  ask  "Who  just  saved  you?"    If  they  answer  "Jesus
                Christ," you now know for sure that they have "confessed with the mouth the
                Lord Jesus." (Romans 10:9)


                These questions are almost always appropriate to ask after the prayer:

                "If you died right now, where would you go?"
                The answer better be "Heaven."

                "If you died ten years from now, where would you go?"
                The answer better be "Heaven!"


                "If you did something really bad tomorrow and then died, where would you
                go?"
                The answer better be "Heaven!!"

                                       FRAMING THEIR NEW BIRTHDAY


                Upon verification, give the convert some encouraging words that help them
                realize the magnitude of what just happened.  You ought to be excited that
