But even we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8

Gospel means good news and the good news is this: admit you are a sinner and acknowledge Jesus as your Lord! In order to be saved it involves a change of heart, a surrender and an acknowledgement that there is a need to change! Many have tried to add something or take away something such as works and deeds, keeping the law or religious acts such as baptism or church membership all to no avail!
A rich man asked Jesus, "Good Master what do I have to do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "No one is good but God, keep the commandments and the man said I have, proving that goodness doesn't save you and no one has kept the commandments!" Jesus then told him to sell all and follow Him and he said he could not do it and went away grieved!
Jesus was condemned to death on a cross as well as two thieves and one cried out to Jesus saying, "If You are the Christ save Yourself and us!" The other thief acknowledged that they were receiving their just punishment and he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." The thief called Him Lord and King and he believed! He had a heart change, but he wasn't baptized, didn't pray a prayer, didn't join the church, didn't walk an aisle, didn't keep the law but only asked to be remembered!
And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:43
