    Larry,

    There is a scripture in the Bible where a jailor is converted and asked Paul, What Must I do to be Saved? And, Paul responds and says:

    Acts 16: 31

    And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

    Also, there was a rich young man, and when he saw Jesus Christ, he asked him the same question, and Jesus responded.

    Mark 10: 17-31

    17. As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

    18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good.

    19 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.

    20 “Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.”

    21 Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

    22 At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

    23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!

    24 This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.

    25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

    26 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.

    27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”

    28 Then Peter began to speak up. “We’ve given up everything to follow you,” he said.

    29 “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News,

    30 will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.

    31 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

    Therefore, the only way to be saved is through Jesus Christ. Repent and ask him to forgive you of all your sins, and be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And, by doing the two greatest commandments, which are Love God with all your heart, mind and soul, and likewise, love your neighbor as you love thyself. For in doing these two, you have fulfilled all the commandments of the law.

    Depends on what you want saving from!

    If you're in immediate danger of drowning then I'd call the coastguards.

    If you're stuck in mud, I'd call the fire service.

    If your cars broken down then try a rescue association to which you have paid your dues.

    The list is endless.

    All humans who have ever risen from the dead and become

    Immortal used Holy-Fire. It looks like a candle-Flame that

    changes color from rainbow-hues to opal, magenta, pink

    to gold silver black and white. Christians call it the "Pentecostal-Flame."

    I have seen them many times even after meditation and have

    experiences that are 100 times more loving than anything on earth

    There are many books on Amazon that can teach you how to

    work with this Holy-Fire.

    This simple, yet profound, question is the most important question that can be asked. "How can I be saved?" deals with where we will spend eternity after our lives in this world are over. There is no more important issue than our eternal destiny. Thankfully, the Bible is abundantly clear on how a person can be saved. The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). Paul and Silas responded, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).

    How can I be saved? Why do I need to be saved?

    We are all infected with sin (Romans 3:23). We are born with sin (Psalm 51:5), and we all personally choose to sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8). Sin is what makes us unsaved. Sin is what separates us from God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.

    How can I be saved? Saved from what?

    Because of our sin, we all deserve death (Romans 6:23). While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:15).

    How can I be saved? How did God provide salvation?

    Because the just penalty for sin is infinite and eternal, only God could pay the penalty, because only He is infinite and eternal. But God, in His divine nature, could not die. So God became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. God took on human flesh, lived among us, and taught us. When the people rejected Him and His message, and sought to kill Him, He willingly sacrificed Himself for us, allowing Himself to be crucified (John 10:15). Because Jesus Christ was human, He could die; and because Jesus Christ was God, His death had an eternal and infinite value. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin (1 John 2:2). He took the consequences we deserved. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead demonstrated that His death was indeed the perfectly sufficient sacrifice for sin.

    How can I be saved? What do I need to do?

    “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). God has already done all of the work. All you must do is receive, in faith, the salvation God offers (Ephesians 2:8-9). Fully trust in Jesus alone as the payment for your sins. Believe in Him, and you will not perish (John 3:16). God is offering you salvation as a gift. All you have to do is accept it. Jesus is the way of salvation (John 14:6).

    Put yourself in a dangerous situation in an area where someone reliable is nearby to do it (Ie in the shallow end of a pool when a lifeguard's on duty).
