The Roman Road To Salvation by JESUSisKING1: 4:49am On May 17, 2020
Summary: God has made the road to salvation and eternal life clear and simple in the bible. Dozens of verses spell out how to be saved. One of the best-known, brief summaries is found in the “Roman Road” to salvation in the Epistle to the Romans.

1) Our Human Condition
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

• Every one of us, every mortal human, has sinned.

• Our sin causes us to “fall short” of God’s glory and His desired relationship with us.
2) Sin’s Penalty
Romans 6:23a For the wages of sin is death…

• Sin has a payoff — death! Damnation in hell, eternal separation from God.
3) God’s Provision and Solution
Romans 5:8, 6:23b But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us … [6:23b] the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

• Because God loves us, He didn’t want to leave us in our lost, condemned, sinful state — that is, “still sinners.”

• So He sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins. This is the Gospel in its simplest, clearest form — the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our salvation (1 Corinthians 15:2-4). In Christ, God the Father has provided a way for us to be saved! Jesus took upon Himself the penalty for our sins.
4) Our Necessary Response
Romans 10:9, 13 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved… [13] for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

• Confess Jesus as your Lord, including His having the authority to forgive sins that you repent of.

• Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again from the dead.

• Call on His Name in sincere faith and repentance for your sins.

• And (vs. 13) you “will be saved”!

Your list there is a man-made list and has nothing to do with Jesus's own command on what you need to do to become His follower.
Unfortunately for you @OP, none of the above will get you into a life with Jesus Christ. It might get you a life pretending here on earth with other so-called Christians, but a life with the actual SON OF GOD living on the inside of you? NEVER!
