How do you get saved?

We are destined for Hell because of our sins.

We are saved because of the remission of our sins.

We may debate how we obtain this remission but not the need for the remission.

Repentance is an action.


Luke 13:3

New International Version

I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

Whether or not mental or physical, it is a action.

With consequences.

You pray “Jesus, forgive me of my sins. Come into my life and save me. I believe that You died on the cross for me and I want you to be Lord of my life. I surrender my life to you Jesus right now. I receive you. Thank you for saving me.”

If you have prayed this prayer please let us know. It’s important to find a church to go to and tell the pastor what you gave done. If you can’t, then write this prayer out and sign it and date it and save it. It’s important to follow up with water baptism as a symbol of what you’ve done.

Here’s some scripture references
Roman’s 3:23, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9-10, 13.
Revelation 3:20.

You can't pray your way to salvation. Show me one instance in the bible where someone prayed to be saved or were told to pray that may be saved. If you haven't read and studied the book of Acts, the book of conversions, you should do that. You are off on left field at the moment, and if you've done yourself what you're suggesting to do here to be saved, you're in for a rude awakening someday when you open your eyes and find yourself in flames as did the rich man, in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. To be saved according to scripture, you must do the following
1. Believe
2. Confess your belief
3. Repent of your sins
4. Be baptized, totally immersed in water, for the remission of sins

Okay, so if you do the example or anything close to what I put, and also not totally immersed in water baptism them you go to Hell?

I've reached my 10th anniversary at CC and I haven't saved anyone! Who do you think you are crashing in here trying to save more people than me! Ugh, so rude.

Perhaps you should not have entered the water baptism discussion.Yiu obviously don't know anything about it or the people such as Hitler who are Baptised in the water.

I know right.

I wish that some of these posters would just come out and say:

- Your prayer’s wrong. Anyone who prays it will go to Hell
- Anyone who isn’t water baptized will go to Hell
- Anyone who hasn’t fully committed or fully repented, regardless of what they say, will go to Hell
- All persons who had a death bed conversion went to Hell because they weren’t water baptized.
- The thief on the cross went to Hell, because he wasn’t water baptized. Jesus lied.

Haa! give it time. surely, someone will come along.

I didn't. I entered the discussion where you immediately escalated to the most extreme possibly example. That's Godwin's Law. You're welcome.

Also, I know lots about baptism. Clearly, you have some very odd ideas about it.

You repented in order to "continue to live in Gods grace"?

What if you did not repent?

Repent is not a behaviour.. a work.. it is a 'change of mind, heart' from unbelief to belief.

Perhaps you have not been paying attention and that is why you have no idea the gentiles receive the holy spirit without being Baptised in water.

You should pay closer attention to the conversation before sticking your foot in your mouth.
What Peter said was proven wrong by God.

Saying a “sinner’s prayer” to be saved is not in the Bible. It is a man made command. Do not be deceived.
In critical thinking, you look at ALL the evidence and then you draw a conclusion. That’s exactly what Psalms 119:160 says. It’s the “SUM” of God’s word that is truth. Also, you need book, chapter, and verse or in other words “authority” from God’s own Word for your faith and practice. Matthew 7 shows us a picture of judgement where “RELIGIOUS” people are going to be turned away because what they did and practiced in the name of religion was WITHOUT LAW—or God’s authority. For, example the sinners’s prayer; no authority from God for that.
From the Bible we find many scriptures that tell us what to do to be saved. Like, Matthew 28:18-19, where Jesus is giving the Great Commission”. He says to go into all the world and make disciples , BAPTIZING them…”. Mark 16:16 Jesus also said that FAITH and baptism equals salvation. Romans 10:10 says that CONFESSION is unto salvation AND we have an example of someone’s salvation where they “confessed” their faith in Christ before baptism in Acts 8:37. In Acts 2:38 the apostle Peter told the Jews to REPENT and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins.
Remember Psalms 119:160? We are to add it all together to get the SUM of God’s word which is how we get the “TRUTH.” So we see from the scriptures we are to BELIEVE, REPENT, CONFESS, and be BAPTISED for the
forgiveness of sins.
Every Bible example of conversion substantiates this. The Jews in Acts 2:38, the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9, Lydia in Acts 16 and the jailer in Acts 16. Just to name a few.
Acts 17:11 teaches us to search the scriptures to see if what is taught is true. Men teach many different things but put your trust in God’s Word. See how people in the New Testament were saved. If God saved them that way—you can be sure He will save you if you do what they did.

I had a baptism earlier after I got home from.work.I Baptise myself about 6 days a week.

your stuck on a verse.

Use the whole council of God

I am redeemed by the blood of the lamb, That blood was applied to me when I was baptized into christ, not water
