    Heard of "The Gospel"? Want to know more?

    There is salvation in no other, for there is not another name under heaven having been given among men, by which it behooves us to be saved."

What does the Word say about the Law of YHWH which, in reality, is the Law of Moses?

You are claiming that the Holy Spirit and Paul are legalistic for writing these words in the bible.


9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10


Your argument simply states: "you don't have to do what this scripture tell us to do to be saved".

That's your argument. Plain and simple.

The Gospel according to Jethro: ..."You don't have to obey the Gospel to be saved."

Peter's audience in Acts 10:43-46 NASB did not confess with their mouth Jesus as Lord as a precondition to be born again. They obviously did not follow your interpretation of Romans 10:9-10 NASB that says they have to do that first before they can be born again, yet they were born again anyway. There's no getting around it....they did not do that as a precondition for being born again.
 
I already know what I'm going to say to your next post....

You can rant and rave all you want but the fact remains Peter's audience in Acts 10:43-46 NASB did not confess with their mouths Jesus as Lord as a condition for getting born again.

Unplug the coffee pot and shut off the lights when you're done.

They repented.

Repent is not the same as believe.

Jesus said repent and believe...

Paul said confess with your mouth and believe...

Anyone who is interested in the truth can see that the Gospel message consist's of two things...
Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus AND believe in your heart...

The house of Cornelius repented and received the forgiveness of sins unto eternal life.

18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”
Acts 11:18

My point is to show it was the action of their obedience to repent working together with their faith...

For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? Romans 10:14

Repent and Believe.
Believe and confess.

Faith without the act of obedience is dead.
