People have been asking this question for centuries, and they have come up with a couple of different answers. I believe that a person is saved through faith and prayer. If you truly believe that god is your savor and you have the faith to trust in him and believe what the bible tells you then you should be saved.
In Isa. 61:10 It says, "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride aborneth herself with her jewels." Which basically means that because of his faith in the lord he was given salvation and righteousness. Throughout the bible you see the lord referred to as the lord of salvation or the god of salvation, or you see the term salvation
I believe that one of the most important things a person can do in their life is not only to follow god but to also act like a Christian. You can not be afraid to let people know your beliefs. I do not think that it is enough to just say you're a Christian you actually have to act like you are. It says in the bible that not everyone who claims there a Christian will get to heaven. In my opinion there are two reasons for this. One is that a lot of people only claim to be Christians but do not act like they believe in god. They're kind of living a double life. I think the other is that they don't believe with all their heart and soul that the lord exists. They may believe in him to some extent, but they go to church more for social purposes then for religious purposes or do not go at all.
