Romans 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.

on eternal life, whereunto thou art also
called, and hast professed a good

NOT a Confession …
“that God has for Christ’s sake
already pardoned your sins”
But a confession that you believe in
Jesus as the Son of God
These are the Lord’s commands …
1. That men BELIEVE in Christ
2. Turn away from sin in REPENTANCE
3. CONFESS their faith in Christ
4. Be buried in BAPTISM for
the remission of sins
Jesus said:
“ Whosoever therefore shall confess
me before men, him will I confess also
before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before
men, him will I also deny before my
Father which is in heaven.”
