The Bible says that if we believe in Jesus, accept Him into our hearts and repent of our sins we will be saved. It also speaks of baptism, but since churches take different views of what baptism is, I really don't think heaven hinges on whether we are immersed, sprinkled or whatever.
I think salvation depends on our acceptance of God, our belief in Jesus, and repenting of our sins. It is by the grace of God that we are saved, and I think grace covers a multitude of misconceptions.

if you take the scriptures literally you must:
1) obey the commandments
2) love the lord thy god with all your heart, soul and mind
3) sell your stuff and give to the poor
and you can throw in #4: you have to believe Jesus is your savior but the rich guy who asked him how he could be saved stopped at number three. and DONT TAKE THAT LITERALLY. we need stuff to live. dont give everything but give from the heart when you can.

Three?
The Bible tells about believing Jesus is the Son of God.
The Bible tells about confessing Him as your personal Savior in order for Him to confess you before His Father.
The Bible tells about repenting from your sin...asking for forgiveness and pledging to turn away from sin.
The Bible tells about being cleansed from sin to be able to come before God and baptism accomplishing this cleansing.
The Bible tells about growing a relationship with Jesus.
The Bible tells us to submit to God.
The Bible tells us to put God first.
The Bible tells us to love everyone.
The list goes on.
The real question is what MUST I do to worship God every minute of every day? That's what we'll be doing in Heaven; we should start now.

I think that there are more than 3 but you must repent you must be born again and you must know Jesus Christ. To know him is to love him and He says if you love me Keep my commandments.

Repent of sins, believe in Jesus as Son of God, and walk in faith through obedience.

A person must repent of his sins, accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and saviour, and be baptised.

Well... after reading your Profile.... is see that you are Of the Church of Christ... Denomination!
That Particular Denomination..... BELIEVES... That ONE.... must be Water Baptized to Be Saved!
" THAT IS IN ERROR ! " Just as Paul said.... here....
(1Corinthains 1:17) For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

AND..... IS.. ' Water ' BAPTISM.... A Work of Righteousness....? Yes !
(Titus 3:5) not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
