) Believe,
2) repent of your sins,
3) confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God,
4) and be baptized for the remission of your sins.

At which point are you "saved".

At the moment you actually believe.

So, going through all four steps brings you to the result of being saved, but then your last statement can be taken two ways. It can be read as you are saved at step one, or it can be read saying that you don't actually believe until after you've done step 4. There seems to be a contradiction here.

So, which is it?
