Romans 10:9-13 (NASB)
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
Colossians 1:13-20 (NASB)
13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
19 For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,
20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
Colossians 2:8-9 (NASB)
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
To believe in Jesus as Saviour but not as God, is to believe in another Jesus, a Jesus not of Scripture, who, not being God, cannot serve as the perfect once-for-all atonement for the sin of all mankind. There is salvation only in the Jesus revealed to us in the Bible (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 1:25). No other version of Jesus will do; not the prophet-Jesus the Muslims put forward, nor the created-Jesus of the cults (JWs, Mormons, SDAs, etc.), nor the good-teacher-Jesus of the humanist/atheist. Only God incarnate in the Person of Christ can save. And he does, as we put our trust in him - not some lesser counterfeit.
I knew someone would chime in with Romans 10, that’s why I specifically pointed out that LORD in the NT is Kurios, not YWHW.
In the Old Testament they chose to translate the Tetragrammaton as LORD instead of YHWH, or Yahweh.
In the NT the word LORD is Kurios, not YHWH.
Kurios can mean master, or sir, or even mister - that word does not prove Jesus is God in Romans 10.
Here’s Albert Barnes commentary on that passage in Romans 10:
The Lord Jesus - Shalt openly acknowledge attachment to Jesus Christ. The meaning of it may be expressed by regarding the phrase “the Lord” as the predicate; or the thing to be confessed is, that he is Lord; compare Act 2:36; Php 2:11, “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” Here it means to acknowledge him as Lord, that is, as having a right to rule over the soul.
Once again, show us one place where Jesus taught salvation by faith that He is God.
Quoting non salvational passages in the Bible that prove Jesus is God such as Colossians 2, does not prove that a brand new believer has to understand His divinity to be saved.
A new believer is a baby, and can only feed at first on the milk of the word, said Paul.
You are trying to say they must start out on meat even before the confess their faith to be saved, per Romans 10.
Babies can’t eat meat.
When Jesus taught how to be saved by faith in Him there’s no demand by Him for believing other than His being Gods son:
Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God So Loved the World
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
