You cannot. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, no one will enter to the Father's house except through Him. We cannot save ourselves with deeds.

You can't be saved if you reject the Savior.

Wrong.
Imagine you save a building from a terrorist attack by overcoming the terrorist. Would it make sense to go through the building, one by one, determining who believed you had saved them and who hadn't, and then release the terrorist against the unbelievers?
The message of the Gospel is that Jesus has saved humanity. The message is true whether we believe it or not. Does it make sense to think that God must reconcile himself to man and not man to God? Does it make sense to think that an omnipotent God cannot accomplish his desire for all human beings to be saved? How could God save the entire creation but exclude the unbelievers? Paul says that all will be saved - but not all at the same time. Believers are the "firstfruits" of the Resurrection, and participate in a foretaste of what will eventually extend to all.
This is not a new belief. It was maintained by such prominant Church Fathers as Gregory of Nyssa and Origen. Gregory was one of the authors of the Chalcedonian definition, which is the form of the Trinity maintained by all Trinitarian Christians. Origen actually compiled the final version of the Biblical text that was used to make the first Bible. All modern Bible translations are based on Origen's text (also known as the 'minority text').

I read your question, and read the answers to it. I thought to not answer but decided to go ahead anyway. I look at the question and wonder.
Who are you saying the Saviour is?
What does common sense have to do with it?
If you mean Jesus Christ as being the Saviour, then if you reject Him you have no recourse then to be given over to Satan to be tormented.
Common sense has absolutely nothing to do with Faith.><>

In accepting or rejecting God, the savior, it is not a common sense that works but it is a belief on the bible, belief to God and belief on the teachings of God in the bible

If you know the words of Jesus and you outright reject him as your Savior, than you will not be saved by Jesus. But keep in mind that when Jesus died and went to Hell he brought a lot of people out of hell with him. Once you are in hell there is still a chance Jesus will save you when he returns.

Tell me..if u have r triplets and one of ur bro commit murder, can the other one be punish for the crimes of the guilty bro. No right! u wld say NO coz its not justice!!So if we as man said that, why do Christians says that we r saved since Jesus died for our sins since u reject the fundemental of such idea here in reality itself.Then no pt u live on and commit suicide since u noe u r gng to Heaven since Jesus died for ur sins and dun watse ur time here on Earth snce Heaven is a wonder place better than Earth itself!

Believe on the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved. Apart from Jesus you cannot be saved.
Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the whole world, he rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven so that we could have eternal life in heaven with Him.

Well, I guess if someone feels they need to be saved then they won't reject a savior. But many people, myself included, don't feel like we need to be saved. And my question is - saved from what? Ourselves? If that's the case, then we need to save ourselves from ourselves by making better life decisions. That's pretty easy to do. You just have to think.

saved from what by whom? If I have to spend eternity with people like you and your bipolar sky daddy I'd choose second death every time.
