Romans 10:8-11 NLT
In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”

By grace through faith.

If we call on the name of the Lord, we will be saved. Read Romans 10.. ?

It’s not by the prayer of salvation that for sure. Made up theology! Repent and follow me. John 6:55-59 ESV
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum. -
Jesus said, “If you love me, you will obey me.” Jesus said, “Repent or perish”. Jesus said, “Not everyone who says Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who Do the will of the Father. God will separate the sheep from the goats. Whoever helped the least of these will be saved. Those who don’t won’t.”

According to the Bible, we are saved by believing and receiving the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Refer below scripture passage:
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the GOSPEL I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and BY WHICH YOU ARE BEING SAVED, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ESV -
Jesus taught the Apostles or His Disciples how to preach the message of Salvation to all the peoples of this world.
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
-Mark 16 : 15-16Jesus teaches that people need to believe in the Gospel, that’s the first thing. After believing in the Gospel, they will obviously confess and repent from their sins (Acts 2:38) then baptized and be saved.
This is the Gospel
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
-1 Corinthians 15 : 1-4The Gospel is the power of God for Salvation
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
-Romans 1 : 16I hope this message will find a space in your heart ❤️

Simple, recognize you are a sinner and need to be rescued, receive the GIFT of salvation trough GRACE by FAITH in Jesus Christ, after you are saved, the Holy Spirit dwells in you and He will guide you and keep you as long as you submit to His lordship.
Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The ONLY WAY is to trust, believe, and confess that:1) That you are a sinner in need forgiveness and salvation from God.
2) Jesus Christ (as God incarnate) died as your substitute on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins.
3) Jesus was raised back to life on the third day!
Thank God for His infinite grace, wisdom, love, and mercy. For lest God had a plan to save us by grace alone, we would all be destined to an eternity in hell. Thank you Jesus, thank you Father God! Glory to you in the highest!
-
We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone as our Lord and Savior.
-
in this age, By believing the gospel of grace 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
…That if you believe Christ died for your sins, was buried, rose again fulfilling the scriptures, you will be saved…

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. -
Hopefully my lecture outline from Boardwalk Chapel staff training is of some help. Defining and Defending the Faith 23: I believe in the forgiveness of sin.
I. The need for forgiveness.
A. Original and actual sin have separated you from God and placed you under his wrath and curse.
B. Ro 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned … [18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. [19] For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
C. Rom 3:22 … For there is no difference; [23] For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
D. JN 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us…. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
E. WSC Question 84: What Doth Every Sin Deserve? Answer: Every Sin Deserveth God’s Wrath and Curse, Both in This Life, and that Which is to Come.
II. The Biblical Gospel: God justifies sinners by grace alone, through faith alone, on the basis of the work of Christ alone, which is evidenced by a life of good works.
III. What is justification? WSC Answer 33: Justification is an Act of God’s Free Grace, Wherein He Pardoneth All Our Sins, and accepteth us as righteous in his sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone.
A. Key texts:
1. RO 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; [26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
2. Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, [5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) [6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: [7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
B. The act of justification: Legal declaration of standing.
1. RO 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. [34] Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
2. Biblically, to justify is the opposite of to condemn. To condemn is not to make guilty but rather to declare guilty. Therefore to justify is not to make just but rather to declare just.
3. Pardon for sin.
4. Acceptance as righteous.
C. The basis of justification: The imputed righteousness and satisfaction of Christ.
1. 2 CO 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. [21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2. WCF XI.I Those whom God effectually calls, He also freely justifieth; not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ’s sake alone; nor by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness; but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them, they receiving and resting on Him and His righteousness by faith; which faith they have not of themselves, it is the gift of God.
3. The Lord Jesus in his active and passive obedience purchased your redemption and turned aside the wrath of God enabling you to be forgiven by God.
a. Jesus’ active obedience = His perfect keeping of the Law in your place.
b. Jesus’ passive obedience = His suffering death as the penalty of the Law in your place.
D. The instrument of justification: faith.
1. Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
2. WCF XI.II Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and His righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification: yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love.
E. The evidence of justification: good works.
1. JAS 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? [21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? [22] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? [23] And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. [24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. [25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
2. Watson: “But does not the apostle James say that Abraham was justified by works? The answer is easy. Works declare us to be righteous before men, but they do not make us righteous before God. Works are evidences of our justification, not causes.”
IV. The doctrine applied.
A. Be reconciled to God in Christ. Repent of your sin, renounce your own good works and trust in the work of Christ alone.
B. Hold fast to the Biblical gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. (GAL 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.)
C. Proclaim the Biblical gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Conclusion: “Now consider all this simultaneously: A justified person is eternally delivered from all sin, all wrath, all curse, and all punishment without any retraction. A justified person, due to the imputed righteousness of Christ, is perfect in his beauty before God, before the angels, before believers, and to himself. A justified person is a child of God and an heir of eternal life; he has an inheritance which he cannot lose, but which is kept in heaven for him. There is sweet quietude, peace, joy, and delight in God to be found in the soul of a justified person, more than a natural man can understand, and more than a justified person can express.” (a’Brakel) -
Ask God the same question and read the Bible. 1 John, Romans, and the gospel of John.

Must be Born Again
-
You must believe that Jesus, born of a virgin. Lived a sinless life. Killed on the cross to pay YOUR sin Debt. dead and buried. walked out of the grave on the third day according to Scripture. And now sits on the right hand of GOD. Bottom line you must believe. Thats all.
-
Read Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; and Romans 10:9-13.
-
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
-
Personal faith (BELIEVE) in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the victorious Savior from sin and death is the means by which salvation is received. The substitutionary death of Christ for our sins is the basis on which God is justified in saving us through faith, and this is demonstrated and this is demonstrated and guaranteed in the victorious bodily Resurrection of Christ from the grave. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast”
-
Saved by GRACE through FAITH.
-
Confess your sins to the Lord and accept Him (Jesus Christ) as your personal Savior and Lord.
-
By believing in one who overcame death.
-
I have read many of the comment and many do not have the action “repent” John the Baptist and Jesus proclaimed that we must repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. Any other action that does not involve repentance is not the message of salvation.
-
Romans 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Romans 10: 9-10
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
Ephesians 2: 8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
John 3:5
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Acts 2:38-39
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
There are many other verses in the bible to research and look up. GOD BLESS YOU?? -
Repent of your sins to God, accept His forgiveness, and accept the Holy Spirit within to transform you and make you holy and guide you. Confess Jesus as Savior and Lord and believe he died on the cross and rose again to forgive you of your sins. Get baptized if not already baptized. Seek to follow the Holy Spirit and be holy the rest of your life. Repent whenever disobey God.

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
-
By grace through faith in Jesus Christ
-
Repentance (turning from the love of sin and hatred of God to a hatred of sin and love for God).. and trust in Jesus (Who He is and what He did/does)
This I must add is impossible for man in his dead state.. so man needs God’s grace to realize this reality in him
-
You have to be the elect you cant do anything or else its heresy
…
JK that is just evil.
The truth is to be saved you must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ!

Doing Romans 10:9a & 10:10b, due to believing 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, results in Romans 10:9b & 10:10a. Confess Master Jesus because you believe Paul’s gospel (especially that Christ died for our sins and was resurrected on the third day), and then you will be saved and go toward righteousness (because you believe the Resurrection).

Now I would remind you brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which You stand and by which are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you unless you believed in vain..

By grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Ephesians 2:8-9
-
Eph 2:1-8 gives a clear view in context how the salvation process is accomplished in carnal man. God’s Spirit has to quicken us out of our dead spiritual state. Being dead spiritually is so easy to understand. Have you ever see some one dead? Well a spiritual man is dead to hearing seeing, receiving God and all the man made doctrine of freewill or choice cannot and will not waken carnal man out of that dead spiritual state.
“QUICK .”Quick means living and active — LIFE-GIVING! making it active, operative, energizing and effective, notice the context of Ephesians which shows us step by step how the salvation process works.
Eph, 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast -
Romans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
