Rom 10:9-10
Another abused scripture that the man of sin followers abuse to their own destruction is Rom 10:9-10
9That 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.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The issue here is if a unregenerate heart is meant. The heart here performing belief into Christ is a Regenerated Heart, a new Heart given in the New Birth, a Heart that will Trust in its Progenitor, the Lord Jesus Christ. All who do Trust in Him were His Seed, and born of an incorruptible seed.
A heart that is not regenerated is wicked Jer 17:9
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
And by Nature it is under the dominion of satan and opposes belief in Christ 2 Cor 4:4
4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Blindness of mind is the same as blindness of heart Eph 4:18
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
The conditional if's here as if they shall confess or if they believe in their heart, these are not conditional if's but evidential ifs, evidence if whether or not they have been born again and given a new Heart. Paul knew that if anyone would, as a result of Gospel Preaching, confess Christ with their mouth [especially jews] and believe in their heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, such ones would be in a saved regenerated state. These were not if conditions for men to do, to get themselves saved as the work mongrels of the man of sin religions teach. I do not care what no one says, the scripture no where calls on a sinful, devil controlled heart to believe into Christ, and neither can it !
