An interesting turn of phrase

[AlexB23]

Then why did you post the video of the used car salesman to stress a point?

and why do you not reply to the Bible verses I quote?

I did, cos of this verse:

Mark 1:14-15: Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

 

[Mr. M]

I will stay with Romans 10

The problem with using a few verses from Romans 10...
1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one
speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed,
and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

Any mention of the Holy Spirit in the thread yet?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you
be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;
and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Marvelous! Please - share your personal experience and how the Holy Spirit has impacted your life! How did He lead you to repentance, and once repented, how does He impact your day to day life.

That would be EXACTLY how I did it as described in the OP.

My experience with the Lord is and has been exactly what Jesus said to expect. Helper, Comforter, Counselor. The goodness of the Lord leads me to repentance every time I turn to the left or the right.

But you did not mention the Holy Spirit?

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

ONE God, ONE Lord, ONE Spirit
Ephesians 4:
3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Those who are His, hear His Voice
John 16:12 I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;
for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak;
and He will tell you things to come.
14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
15 All things that the Father has are Mine.
Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

 

[Mr. M]

Jesus is your Lord, when you become His servant.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

 

[Mr. M]

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 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. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Believing in the resurrection, which leads to judgment is fundamental

They Taught The People, And Preached In Jesus The Resurrection Of The Dead

An Early, Successful Evangelical Outreach Acts 4: 1 Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on...

ah, then we are in agreement

 

[Mr. M]

ah, then we are in agreement

I am not in agreement with the "interesting turn of phrase".
That Evangelical formula is derivative, and a poor representation
of the Gospel that we have been discussing. We do not accept
Jesus as Lord, we surrender to His Lordship, by death of the self.
Romans 10, and 12 logically follow Romans 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.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.


11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin,
but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body,
that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 And do not present your members as instruments of
unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God
as being alive from the dead, and your members
as instruments of righteousness to God.


16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey,
you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death,
or of obedience leading to righteousness?
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.
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.
For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness,
and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present
your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
