A true disciple has not taken an impulsive leap in the dark. He is one who has become a Christian after deep thought and proper consideration. He has allowed the Word of God to search his heart. He has felt the sense of his own sin and his need to be released from it. He has come to believe that Jesus Christ is the only person who can release him from his guilt, and he has committed himself without equivocation or reservation to Jesus Christ as his Saviour.
