11/23/17 READ IT RIGHT

Hey, y'all did read that verse that says, "If you don't confess Jesus as your Lord and if you don't believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved, because you can't add anything to your salvation," right?
ME NEITHER TOO.
But some people read God's actual word as if that is what it says, or as if that is what God meant when He said the following...
Romans 10:9-11
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.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Believing in the heart leads to confessing with the mouth and living in submission to His Lordship. It is one thing to say, "Jesus is Lord," as a statement of fact concerning His Divine office, it is another to say, "Jesus is Lord," in reference to our own subjection to the rule of God. It is by subjecting to His rule that we receive salvation. At least according to God.
