I believe there are fives steps we must take to salvation. We must hear, believe, repent, confess and be baptized. I am just going to list the verses for each of them now. I will probably go back and elaborate on them later.

I believe you must have all of these working together to be saved,.

"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." (James 2:14-17 ESV)

Faith without works is dead. You cannot have faith without works.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
(Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV)

Works alone won't save you. You can't work your own way to salvation. It is the gift of God.
