Now folks want to complicate it by you have to blah blah blah and then you have to blah blah blah blah and then you might be saved.
What must I do to be saved? (See answer above) And forget about a lot of jumping through the hoops of the hundreds of salvation plans out there.

Did you forget to quote the rest of the scriptures about the jailer and all his household?
Acts 16:32-34
"
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes.
And immediately he and all his family were baptized. Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household."
Paul himself was converted by the laying on of hands by the disciple Ananias and filled with the Holy Spirit, then he was immediately baptized in water. If that's what he did in order to be saved or enter the kingdom of God, why would he preach anything different?
Acts 9:17-18
"And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be
filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was
baptized."
