Acts 2:21 ‘And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
This prophecy is from Joel 2:32 and is also famously quoted in Romans.
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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
What does it take to be saved? A person must call on the Lord. What does it mean to call on the Lord? At face value it would seem to be as simple as crying out, “Jesus, save me!” From Romans 10 it would seem to entail nothing more than believing in your heart and acknowledging it with your mouth. In any case, it is short and sweet.
