The Romans Chapter 10 Controversy Explained

The Controversy in a Nut Shell: False Teachers claim because Romans 10 is written to Israel, to the Jewish people, that means you can not use it to Teach Bible Salvation for the Christian Church.

This would be true, Except for the Fact Salvation is Not different for the Jews.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Jews are not Saved differently than Gentiles or anyone else.

So the point being made that this passage applies to Jews only is Biblically Ignorant.

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

The Romans Road:

There is Only One Plan of Salvation in the Bible, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 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.

The Bible is 100% clear that there is Only one plan of Salvation from Genesis to Revelation.

Let any one who Teaches, Preaches Another Gospel (Plan of Salvation) be Accursed. This is what the Bible Teaches.

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

There is Only 1 Gospel: The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

False Teachers Particularly the IFB Baptist Dispensationalist teach up to 12 different Gospels that will Save people.

They are Blasphemers. They claim Jesus did Not Teach the Gospel for the Church. “Jesus Gospel according to them was for the Jews Only.” They say the Gospel for the Church was Not even Known until the Apostle Paul thought it up.

Yes they Falsely say that the True Gospel is Paul’s Gospel, created by him.

We know from the 4 Gospel’s that Jesus Preached the Gospel.

Paul did Not think up the Gospel. Jesus taught Paul the Gospel:

Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel:

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

1^st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ is the Only True Plan of Salvation in the Bible:

The Bible’s One plan of Salvation is clearly explained in Romans 10:9-13

Romans 10:9 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.

Romans 10:9,10 is Not Works. Like some Cult Churches Falsely claim. They Falsely say that the Confession in verse 9 is to man. They say people do NOT get Saved by an alter Call.

They also say that Romans 10:9-13 is Not talking about Eternal Salvation. They say it is talking about being Saved from Physical Death.

That is completely untrue Romans Chapter 10 is saying that Israel the Jews were trying to be Saved, spiritual Salvation, by Works, by Keeping the Law. It teaches that Salvation is only through the Lord Jesus Christ. It is talking about how a person can be Saved spiritually.

A person is Saved as soon as they Ask Jesus to Save them, when they have Believed the Gospel Only to Save them. That can happen anywhere including during an alter call.

Some Cults, False Teachers / Churches teach it you do not Confess Jesus to the Church as a part of Salvation than you are not Saved. The Bible does Not teach this.

Romans 10:8-13 is clearly a Salvation passage. The entire context is Salvation from Hell. It is belief in the Gospel.

It does Not say a person needs to Confess with their mouth to a person, to other people, in front of a congregation to Be Saved. The Confession is to Jesus not to man.

Calling this works Salvation is saying the Thief on the cross was Saved by Works when he asked Jesus to Save him.

Also it does Not say: You Have To Confess With Your Mouth to be Saved. It just says if you do you will be Saved.

Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”

The Bible is clear, this entire passage is clear that a person is Saved as soon as they Believe the Gospel Only to be Saved.

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:13 is a Prayer to Jesus. When you Call On The Lord Jesus you are praying to him, having a conversation.

The Sinners Prayer:

“Lord Jesus I know that I am a Sinner. I deserve to go to Hell for my Sins. I am asking you right now Jesus to Save me from Hell. I Believe the Gospel Only to Save me. I am Not Trusting in myself, any Good Works to Save me. I Believe that you Died were Buried, and you Rose on the third day from the dead to pay the Penalty for all of my Sins. Jesus I am trusting in You Alone to Save me. Please Save me Lord Jesus.”

Saying a Salvation Prayer is not Works it is exactly what the Thief on the cross did.

Romans 10:13 “For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be Saved.”

The only way today to call upon the name of the Lord is through prayer.

Again the passage is not saying to Confess to anyone but Jesus.

Faith and Works is Not Found in the Bible as a Method of Salvation.

All the examples of Salvation in the Bible show a verbal Confession of Faith in Jesus to Jesus. An Admission of being a Sinner and that Jesus is the Sinless Savior.

Look at the Thief on the cross he verbally confessed with his mouth to Jesus that he was a sinner and that Jesus was just being without sin. And he Asked Jesus to Save him:

Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Salvation happens Immediately, It is Not a Process. Salvation = Eternal Life.

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory

Requiring a Verbal Confession, to be Saved, to Man is Not Biblical. These Bible Twisters. Say Peter Lost his Salvation when he Denied Jesus 3 times.

This is Ridiculous. Salvation is Eternal Life. Peter did Not Deny the Gospel. What Peter did is deny knowing Jesus. Beware of inventing things that are Not in the Scriptures.

Peter Denied Jesus Christ out of Fear. He did Not Make a public Confession of Jesus Christ because he Feared the People, the Romans.

John 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

John 12:42 clearly proves that you Do Not have to Confess your Faith in Jesus before men, people to be Saved.

To be Eternally Saved: Ask Jesus to Save you, Believe the Gospel Only to Save you.
