Christians see many false doctrines being promoted on Christian forums, particularly TULIP (Five Point Calvinism), works salvation, and baptismal regeneration (water baptism being necessary for salvation), All these false doctrines are REFUTED by Romans 10.
AN ELECT NATION IS NOT ELECTED FOR SALVATION (IMAGINE!)
1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
WORKS SALVATION: THE BANE OF ISRAEL
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
CHRIST AND HIS FINISHED WORK OF REDEMPTION MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
4 For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
PERFECT OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW IS NECESSARY BUT IMPOSSIBLE
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead)
THE WORD OF FAITH IS NEAR EVERYONE WHO HEARS THE GOSPEL
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the Word of faith, which we preach;
"BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED"
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.
GOD WANTS TO SEE GENUINE FAITH AND PUBLIC PROFESSION OF THAT FAITH
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
SALVATION IS OFFERED TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE (WHOSOEVER)
11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
GOD’S GRACE IS UNLIMITED, AND SO IS CHRIST’S ATONEMENT
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.
BAPTISM IS NOT A CONDITION FOR SALVATION
13 For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL IS A DIVINE NECESSITY
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL ARE CALLED AND SENT OUT BY GOD
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of Peace, and bring Glad Tidings of good things!
NOT ALL WILL OBEY THE GOSPEL, THUS NOT ALL WILL BE SAVED
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
SAVING FAITH IS GENERATED THROUGH HEARING THE GOSPEL
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
THE GOSPEL HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE WORLD
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
ISRAEL SHOULD HAVE OBEYED THE GOSPEL BUT FAILED TO DO SO
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
GENTILES RESPONDED TO THE GOSPEL SOONER THAN JEWS
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
THE JEWS WHO RESISTED THE GOSPEL AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WERE DAMNED
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
