go to site read...but you must be baptized in Jesus name and belive in Jesus.
 
Romans 10 details it beautifully.

Nothing about being baptized in there. Baptism is something that we are invited to do to symbolize publicly our new life in Christ. It is also an activity that causes us to experience more deeply our choosing to die to our flesh and live for Christ. It does not save us. Anymore than partaking in communion does.

"If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will saved".

You send me to john 3:16 and claim that it is so clear...but it doesnt explain what it means to believe in him... john 3:5 however is clear as day to me n needs no explination...you say baptism is not necessary for salvation but christ himself states that if i am not born of water and spirit i can not see or enter into the kingdom...as i learn more about slavation i keep hearing john 3:16 but never do i hear john 3:5...should i believe your wisdom on this matter or should i stick to the scriptures?...your thoughts on this please...thank you

You should stick to scripture. You would not want to miss this blessing. There is, however, an exception to the rule; there have been people who have accepted Jesus just before they died, such as the thief on the cross beside Jesus.

I place my desires upon God. I want to do His will. When I speak to people I want to talk of Jesus because He is on my heart. If i stray from Him even a little and don't feel His closeness I miss Him desperately. I look forward to kneeling before Him and this makes physical death just another journey through life. This is what it means to believe in Jesus and walk with Him.

What you must do to be saved: Confess your sins to Jesus, ask Jesus to forgive you, ask Jesus to come into your heart. I think if you go to the John Hagee web sight, he has a sinners prayer posted there and you will enjoy his sermons.

baptism symbolizes death, as humans cannot live under water. it also places before us stepping stones that lead back to the origin of the first lie ever told a human being. first stop-Deut 30:19 "...I have set before you life and death...". the 2 are clearly separated. next stop- Gen 2:17- "...thou shalt surely die." again a clear distinction between life and death. next stop- Gen 3:4 (the first lie told a human being) "..And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die." Next stop- Present Day: What do they teach us from the pulpit? that when we leave this existance we will either go to heaven and live forever, or we will go to hell and live forever, BUT, "...you shall not surely die." Baptism returns us to the moment of the great fall of mankind and gives us the SAME CHOICE they were given, (deut 30:19). We believe not the enemy of God, but God Himself. That we, apart from him have no life, and are capable of being returned to non-existence. that we shall SURELY DIE. He only can pull us into life. from nothing to something, in a nut shell.
