1 | Is confession necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76424 | ||

2 | Is confession necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | Searcher56 | 76445 | ||
Scripture ... Mat 10:33; Rom 1:18-20, 10:9, 15-13 ... sniper, While I think Romans 1:18-20 is an expection to the process (10:15-13) ... I don't think they heard. The process is ... one has to be sent so they can preach so others can hear -some will believe -then they'll call and then are saved Romans 10:9 talks about confession and Mattheew 10:33 is the strongest support that we need to verbalize our salvation Searcher |

Do we agree that, although not everyone may physically be confronted with the gospel, God has left enough evidence to be understood, at least enough to lead men to search after him? If we do agree, then do we agree that everyone must first "hear", then search after God? If we agree on that, then do we agree that after a person finds God they must be willing to confess their belief? |

I agree to the things you've stated. Since God has communicated to all men of his divine nature and invisible attributes (Romans 1:18-20; Psalm 19:1) it is reasonable to conclude that He expects a particular response. It starts with the 'groping' to seek and find that Paul speaks of in Acts 17. This yearning and searching, a part of man who is incurably religious, leads him to the one true God. Upon finding God, is a person required to confess? What other alternative is there? The only alternative is to not confess. That is unimaginable when what is at issue is the death of the Son of God. When a man believes that Jesus died to rescue man from sin, how can he hold that in? To not confess would be equal to not believing. Romans 10:9,10, and favorite of posters here, says that 'confession' leads to salvation. Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, RESULTING IN SALVATION. God bless you, disciplerami |
