In the case of Christianity discipleship must end in a Christ like life. Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
The discipleship journey begins with the salvation prayer through Jesus Christ and is geared towards intimacy with the Father through the Holy Spirit. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. • A life of the word of God • A life of Prayer • A life of obedience
