I would like to know whether the following sentences are the same or not,

Thank you

N° 1 and N° 2 are not sentences. Being involved does not mean the same thing as getting involved. However, the words (together) "be involved" and "get involved" could easily be used in a full sentence.

After seeing tonight's news broadcast, I have decided to get involved with the peace movement.

To be involved is the only way to help the cause.
