For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures 1 Cor 15:1-4

Hola, UPCI Jihadist!
I Corinthians 15:1-4
(1) Moreover, brethren,
I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
(2)
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
(3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ
died for our sins according to the scriptures;
(4) And that he was
buried, and that he
rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent
(DEATH), and be baptized
(BURIAL) every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
(RESURRECTION).
Just believing that Christ died, was buried and rose again does not make you saved. If that were true, Peter wouldn't have preached what he did on the Day of Pentecost.
Acts 2:38 is concisely the Gospel and the response to that Gospel all rolled up in one little package. We then go on to perfection (maturity) in Christ, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith toward God, doctrines of baptism, laying on of hands, resurrection from the dead and eternal judgment.
