Romans 10, verses 9-10.
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved
Man the paper the science teacher in highschool left laying around said you just had to say the words. It didn't say anything about believing it. Public education is a joke.
99.999% of what I learned in regular school was of no use.
My vocational electronics classes, on the other hand, were taught by a guy that had been in electronics almost as long as there had been electronics to be in. Learned a lot there, including the fact that AC goes through a capacitor like piss through a tin horn.
Did the instructor demonstrate with piss and a tin horn?
you just [have] to say the words
Sadly a lot of "Christians" teach that. Voddie Baucham and Paul Washer have both preached against this practice and mentality recently.
Thank you.
no prob.
Relevant to this, believing it in your heart is more than making a careless statement. Much the way that professing to love the gym, and actually going are different things. If you say "Jesus is Lord" while ignoring His commandments, you dont believe it in your heart.
If you ignore the teachings of the LORD, you don't really believe his message.
