General Basic Christian Doctrine 101:
1. The fall of man occurred in a primordial event.
2. Man is thus fallen and is incapable of redeeming himself (this makes Christianity incompatible with Buddhism for example).
3. The son of God, Christ, suffered and died on the cross for the sins of man. Thus Christ is man's redeemer.
4. All man must do to be redeemed is repent for their sins and accept Christ as their personal redeemer.
Regardless of whether you are Baptist, Catholic, Mainline Protestant, or Anglican, that is the basic summation of Christian views toward salvation.
