To be saved we must:
 
1.) 1.)   Hear the "good news" (i.e. the gospel) of Jesus Christ (Romans 10:14)
2.) 2.)   Believe (Hebrews 11:6; Acts 8:37; Mark 16:16; John 8:24)
3.) 3.)   Repent of our sins (Luke 13:3,5; Acts 2:38; Acts 17:30; Mark 10:15)
4.) 4.)   Confess faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 8:36-37; Romans 10:9) {Footnote}
5.) 5.)   Be baptized (in water) for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:37-41; 1Peter 3:21; John 3:3-5; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:3-8; Colossians 2:12; Galatians 3:26-27; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 8:34-39; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 4:5)
6.) 6.)   Remain faithful for the rest of our lives and carry our cross daily (Revelation 2:10; Matthew 24:13; Luke 9:23) (What about, "Once saved always saved"?)
 
We become saved (conversion occurs) and we come into contact with the blood of Christ (or enter into Christ), at baptism, after steps 1-4 have been fulfilled.
