"accept Jesus Christ's salvation by faith" is the shortcut accepted by millions.
Faith is essential but only the first step towards salvation.
The false doctrine of "Faith Only" originated around 400AD, was reinforced during the Reformation and is taught in every divinity school in the US. But it is the Devil's Detour away from the doorway to salvation.
Faith is taught but nothing is mentioned about repentance. Peter taught that repentance is required (Acts 2:38). He also taught that one needs to have one's sins washed away in baptism. (Without that the sins remain.) More than faith is required but faith is all that is taught. Why is that? The Prince of Confusion finds nothing better than steering people away from the Lord's salvation.

∙ 9y agoAccording to Martin Luther salvation was by faith alone. This meant you only had to believe in Christ, the son of God in order to be saved. This was revolutionary in his day, because the Church had always taught that salvation was, through the grace of Jesus, earnt by faith and one's works, which could include purchase of indulgences, special prayers or education to be forgiven. Luther brought Christ to the people.
The Lutheran Church articulates Martin Luther's teachings as, "Our churches by common consent...teach that men cannot be justified before God by their own strength, merits, or works, but are freely justified for Christ's sake, through faith, when they believe that they are received into favour, and that their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake, who, by His death, has made satisfaction for our sins. This faith God imputes for righteousness in His sight. Rom. 3 and 4."

A:This must be a well-hidden secret about Martin Luther, as I have found no evidence that Martin Luther ever murdered any people.
