Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
And he took them the same hour of the night (shortly after midnight, and washed their stripes; and was Baptized, he and all his, straightway
Are you Saved?

Nothing. No matter what you do, you won't be "saved". Nobody is. Everybody eventually dies. When you die, you're just dead.

To answer your first question, yes, I have been saved by the blood of Christ.
If you are an honest and sincere person, and you REALLY want to know how to be saved, I will tell you.
First, you must HEAR the Word of God, Romans 10:17, BELIEVE what you've heard, Romans 10:9-10, REPENT of your sins, Luke 13:3-5, CONFESS that Jesus is the Son of God, Matthew 10:32-33, and BE BAPTIZED for the remission of your sins, Acts 2:38, 8:38-39. After that, you must be FAITHFUL until death, Revelation 2:10.
If you have any other questions, you can IM me.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, repent of your past, be baptized by immersion for the remission of your sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. I did this last year and it is making a difference in my life.

Why be doubting. Just believe what you heard and do exactly. Spiritually speaking the salvation is immediate. Your name will be written in the book of life. You will become a child of God and enjoy eternal life if you don't die before Jesus comes again or already dead, you will be resurrected and live with God forever more.

1. I must realize that in my present condition I am a sinner before God. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3.23.)
2. I cannot save myself from eternal punishment in hell "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord: (Romans 6:23)
3. Christ has paid for my sins and my punishment with His death on the cross. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him (Jesus should not perish, but have everlasting life: "(John 3:16)
4. I must accept His crucifixion as payment for my sins, personally. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13)
If you would like to have assurance of eternal life, then pray this prayer: "Lord, I know I am a sinner. I believe Your Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins and make me a new person. I commit my life to you today. Amen,"

To be saved you have to asked chirst into your heart. Being baptized means different things depending on your religion. Some think it means your saved and some believe other things.

u dont need to be baptized.
Acts 16:14-15
14One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message. 15When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. "If you consider me a believer in the Lord," she said, "come and stay at my house." And she persuaded us.
where does ti say "and they said, 'believe on the lord jesus christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.' "

Amen, being baptized however is a public display of faith it is not required in order to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Or, conversely, you could utilize reason and analysis to "save" yourself from theology, and actually take a crack at experiencing reality...
