I see Michael is getting the "help" that the tone of his question deserves.
For myself Michael, that "one step" was the one taken by a man other than myself or any preacher that I have ever met. That "one step" is described in John 10:11.

Quite interesting pelathais. Now the things that even Paul said are of no value. If no one can seriously address the subject so be it.

Yes, like when Paul said... "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."
I guess that means Paul is telling us to ignore everything else that he had ever said or written? No, I don't think so.
And on the same theme, our friend and sometime AFF poster "Andy" in Louisiana has this recent photo from his church's "back yard" - 199 feet tall and illuminated at night. I think this "small" token truly represents the meaning of that "one step" Gospel (Matthew 11:28-30).
Hmmm. I have a feeling that lots of people who have never heard of Jesus, or who have heard of Him but don't believe He is God, repent. Does that work?

You label that step as repentance so let me ask. Will one go to heaven if that's all they do? What if they are never baptized in Jesus name?
Why would someone who has sincerely surrendered their life to Jesus Christ NOT want to be baptized? If one surrenders their life, they WANT to follow Jesus Christ including baptism.

And just how do they repent? What are you referring to?

They are sorry, and turn away from their evil deeds! What do you think "repent" means?
