Rom 10:9-10 teaches Lordship salvation

I need to establish a few teachings from the Bible on baptism. First in Romans 6:3-4, 3 "Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." What was Paul addressing? Verses 1-2, 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Notice that Paul set up a problem and a reason. The problem was these Christians misunderstood grace. He has just finished up a teaching on justification in Chapter 5 and now he is dealing with their lack of repentance. They thought that the more they sinned the more grace they received. Paul says "How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?" in verse two and in verse seven he uses the term "died" again. 7 "For he who has died has been freed from sin." Paul is using a line of reasoning here of the Christians death. Verse 2 teaches if the Christian dies to sin he don't live in it, and verse 7 teaches the Christians death freed them from there sins. I ask a question, "when and how and with who did they die in these verses. The answer is found in the following verses. 3 "Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Who's death does this verse say we are baptized into? None other then Christ Jesus!!! As we continue notice verse four. 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. In verse 4 the death we are baptized into is ours, it is at that point that we died to self, sin and the world. Notice verses 5-6. 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin" Jesus said in Luke "If anyone desires to come after me let him deny himself take up his cross and follow me." The point is we can not take up a cross our way, it must be done God's way. In the above verse we learn that when a believer dies with Christ is when they are baptized and not before. It is at that point that the believer is saved. Verse 7 "For he who died has been freed from sin." Plainly teaches a person is saved at the point of baptism. Still talking about the same subject Paul writes in Rom 6:17-18, "17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness." I ask what doctrine did they obey from the heart that set them freed from their sins? They obeyed the gospel of Christ. God can not and will not save anyone under the new covenant that does not obey His gospel. So lets go forward to chapter 10:9-10 of Romans. Paul is not re-visiting salvation. He don't need to; what he is doing is encouraging the Jews to remain faithful for when he says 11-12, "For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him." Like I showed in my last post, calling on the name of the Lord today is when a man who has faith in Christ is baptized for the remission of their sins. And Notice Paul uses the very term "call upon the name of the Lord." He also said in verse 16, "But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" Notice the words "obeyed the gospel." There are not two separate teachings on obeying the gospel. Paul also told the church in 1 Thessalonians 1:8-9, In flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, Notice the seriousness of not believing or obeying the gospel of Christ. "These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power." Friends it is a serious thing not to obey the Gospel of Christ. Paul guided by the Holy Spirit showed us How in Rom 6:3-4 as we have already look at. Thus we come to Mark 16:15-16, "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned" Notice we see that believing is what makes baptism work. Without belief it is impossible to please Him. Obviously Jesus did not need to say, "he that does not believe and is not baptized," for baptism does not stand alone apart from belief. Rom. 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." The Jews according to the flesh would not believe and will be put to shame on that great day. But when one believes to the point of obedience he will be saved. Their belief had to be to the extent of leaving the beloved law of Moses and by it propelling them to obey. One other thing, in John 19:33-34 we see that Jesus shed His blood in His death, and we already have learned that we are baptized into the death of Jesus, so we conclude that is where we come into contact with His blood. Therefore John would say, Rev. 1:5b, To him who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood." Thus again if you are saved before you are baptized you are saved without the blood of Christ, without being washed in his blood. Gal 3:26-27 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Notice a person is a son of God through faith in Christ Jesus, but not without being baptized into Christ. If you were saved before you were baptized, you were saved before you put on Christ and before you entered Christ. That flies in the face of Eph. 2:13, "for only when a person has already entered Christ to where he is in Christ, are we brought near by the blood of Christ." It takes faith to believe that when a person is baptized into Christ they are washed with the blood of Jesus. 1 Pet. 3: 20-21, "who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine long suffering waited f in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 21 There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ" Water saved Noah like baptism saves us. lets look at Paul when he was known as Saul. He was given authority to persecute the church. Acts 9:1-2. He was blinded and told that Jesus was the one who blinded him by Jesus himself. Acts 9:3-7.He Obey, and Prayed and fasted. Acts 9:8-11. Preacher Andy, according to your belief and position he had to have been saved at this point right? He was baptized for the forgiveness of his sins Acts 22:16 "And Now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord." After three days of praying and fasting Paul still had sin on him and he was unsaved. It took Paul being baptized into Christ, or obeying the gospel of Christ to get his sins forgiven. This passage equates calling on the name of the Lord and baptism at the same thing and time. Thus this is what Romans 10:9-10 is talking about, a belief so strong that it obeys, Andy you can ask me 3 questions also and here are my 3 questions. 1. According to Acts 22:16 when was Saul sins washed away, before or after he was baptized? 2. What is your understanding of how one obeys the gospel, please back it up with scripture 3. What did Peter say for them to do, (in response
