“I believe here’s what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe.” was in Joel Osteen’s answer to Larry King (2005) Your quote.

Now, he left judgment up to God from a person’s heart, so what’s your beef? I see no conflict in his belief and his preaching...as he noted that he believes the Bible, and that Jesus Christ is what the Bible Teaches. God allows us to ask Jesus into our heart without a preacher, a catechism, or a walk down the aisle. And yes, Baptism is necessary, but other than that, the person is saved for believing that Jesus is the son of God and shed his blood for our sins, and asking forgiveness, it’s simple, not complicated.

It's simple, yes. It's what you wrote? Uh, no.
