This phrase is "shorthand" among Christians, especially among Evangelicals, for accepting Jesus as a personal savior. The concept is that, under the Levitical system of Judaism, there has to be a sacrifice of some sort for personal sin. Also according to Judaism, there is a system of substitutionary sacrifices although this is not as well taught. In Christianity, this whole concept is culminated in Jesus as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. While the theology is sound, the question remains...do you believe it? Being saved involves accepting this sacrifice (believing it), confessing that Jesus did die for your sins, and accepting Him as your master and savior. The third part of this theology involves joining the community and actually learning what the whole history of Christianity is all about. This is a personal, private decision although typical confession is done in public. It might be best to attend classes at your local congregation and get more information there.
