Abstract
Being a follower of Christ is a choice made by faith; we have the choice to be saved or unsaved.

The pros of following Christ are that you are born again, you will gain your salvation and eternal life, and you will be baptized in Jesus’ name and filled with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
