Good advice, but what prompted your post? Most of us try to understand what all of God's Word teaches. Those who select one verse (or several) to prove their own doctrine are going for their own glory, not God's.

Good advice but you don't seem to apply it to yourself.
You keep quoting Rom 10:9-10-13 and ignore all the other verses regarding salvation (Mk 16L16 & 1Pet 3:21 for example).

This is an easy to understand Bible passage==Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13
GOD SAYS=

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved....................

Here is more of God's word:
Jesus said "He who believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mk 16:16). Are you taking that into account?

Here is more of God's word:
"Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you" (1Pet 3:21) Are you taking that into account?

They are both easy to understand.

But how many who so confess with their mouths are liars, lying even to God?

"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written..." Rom 3:4

A person can say it but not mean it or say it with a misunderstood meaning. So then how easy is it to understand what the truth is for one of them or for those of us who are listening? Perhaps we should not listen to men unless...?

Correct, no man can fool God, but what man always knows what God knows? Not me! Are you claiming that you do?

You ought to take some of your own advice, because you teach directly against the Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27 Scripture where Lord Jesus showed His coming to gather His is AFTER... the tribulation.

Those that lack understanding and try to fight against the rapture will be left behind!!! Beware!!!
