1 | Are we saved with change of heart? | Rom 10:17 | Robert Nicholson | 76479 | ||
Greetings Searcher56: Just a thought on Romans 10:9 "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus" or (Jesus as Lord) To be willing to accept Jesus as Lord could be connected with our repentance when we take our place as a lost sinner and acknowledge that he is Lord and Savior. "and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" Romans 10:9 When we rest by faith in the finished work of Christ it is God which works within our heart and gives us eternal life. In John 1:13 talks about the new birth which is of God or in John 3 where it is referred to as "born from above". It is my humble opinion that the confession with the mouth is directly connected to the work within the heart. In Christ Robert. |

2 | Are we saved with change of heart? | Rom 10:17 | disciplerami | 77021 | ||
Yes Robert, I agree. The belief cannot be separated from the confession. Let me demonstrate by the use of two passages: John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Heb 3:18 "And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief." Belief without confession is not saving belief. Confession without belief would be a scam. What's happening on the inside of the man must be demonstrated on the outside. They are connected. If I'm standing in the road with a 4,000 pound automobile coming at me, I move. I believe, therefore I move. They cannot be separated. Like the apostle said, "I believed, therefore I spoke." 2 Cor. 4:13 |
