Process of Salvation

Some preachers have accused us of ripping verses out of context and stringing them together like pearls to come up with the 5 steps to salvation. Please read Acts 2:22-38 and you will see

(1) Peter's command for them to hear.
(2) They were pricked to the heart, which proves they believed.
(3) They verbally showed they believed [confessed] by asking "what shall we do?"
(4) they were told to repent.
(5) they were told to be baptized.

There you have the whole plan of salvation in one passage, left completely in context. The result of following these things is that they were added to the church and saved (2:41-47).
