Rom 10:9 Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame."
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call on Him.
Rom 10:13 For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
Joh 3:18 He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
Joh 3:21 But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they who do His commandments, that their authority will be over the Tree of Life, and they may enter in by the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 But outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes a lie.
Rev 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you over the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let the one hearing say, Come! And let the one who is thirsty come. And he willing, let him take of the Water of Life freely.

Read Matthew chapters 5,6, and 7. Follow Christs example is the way to know Him!
Mumbling some words and saying that Jesus is savior will not save anybody. Only doing God's Will will save you and you will enter heaven.
Mat 7:21!

Before diving in head first, I would suggest the person start reading from the begining of the book, that is - Genesis.
Also, not to accept at face value what christian teach since they do not understand Jews or Jewish culture.
And if the person is truly serious, then ask God and wait till God sends a messenger to teach.

The first thing I would tell them is that they are already saved and their is nothing they can do to change that. It is from the idea of guilt from sin that we need to be saved from.
The law has been fulfilled and no one should be going around trying to follow even one to be closer to God. That is self righteous.
You are inseperable from God. He is experiencing this life through you. You are powerful and blessed and can accomplish and create anything. It is Jesus' spirit in you that gives you the freedom - your thoughts can create.
God is love, not fear.

Nothing.
Before you open you mouth, read the Gospel of John about believer and non believer. Read it very carefully.
If you can not show someone Christ (Christ in you!) by your life style, your words will mean nothing.
Remember God (not man) brings people to Christ Jesus.

You cannot talk someone into the kingdom of heaven. The Holy Spirit must first lead them. Simply explain to them how to pray and truly seek repentance then let God do all the work.

I'd say congratulations that is the first step to having a relationship with Jesus Christ. The second step is easy all you need to do is pray repent of your sins and ask him into your heart to be your Lord and Savior.

the Bible is the true Word of God, Read,, just as you seek to know people around you- so there words tell you who they are.
You may fly a kite and have it go up high and hid by the clouds, but you feel a tug and know it is there. Pray and seek Him

Don't ask a christian.
No offence, but most appear to be obsessed with cutting and pasting as many Bible quotes as they can, not on understanding anything about the words of Jesus or their meaning.
My opinion would be different is Christians on the web weren't so obsessed with quoting the Bible without understanding a word of it.

There's a lot to be covered and there's so much to be learned. No need to rush and try to know everything all at once.
It's always best to start from the beginning... like building a bridge: pick up one stone at a time.
Peace be with you!
