I think we have good teaching in acts and romans on what it means to “call on the name of the Lord”. In acts 2 Peter quotes from Joel and then he immediately goes on to preach Jesus and instruct those present what they shall do. It involved 4 things:
Teaching
Hearing
Believing
obeying
In Ro 10:13 Paul quotes Joel also and then in 14-16 goes on to explain what is included in calling on the name of the Lord. It included:
Teaching
Hearing
Believing
Obeying
Pauls account of his salvation experience in Ac 22 follows the same type of pattern. Jesus spoke to him. He heard and believed and then obeyed the commands of Ananias to arise and be baptiized, and wash away your sins, “CALLING ON THE NAME OF THE LORD”.
