Yes — God fulfills His promise of salvation to every person who believes in the heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confesses with the mouth the Lord Jesus.
Romans 10:9 attaches the promise "thou shalt be saved" to heart belief and mouth confession. Les Feldick teaches that this is not a silent mental assent but a verbalized, wholehearted trust in what God has done through Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. At the moment of such faith, God instantly forgives, justifies, sanctifies, glorifies, and seals the believer.
Romans 10:9-10 — This verse states exactly how God's promise of salvation is fulfilled: confession with the mouth and belief with the heart bring salvation and righteousness.
Romans 4:3 — It shows the same principle of salvation by faith — Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness.
The Bible promises salvation through faith in Christ. Romans 10:9 says, "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." Verse 10 continues, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." The promise extends to everyone: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13). Scripture also shows this pattern in the Old Testament. Romans 4:3 says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." Salvation has always come by believing what God has said.
Les Feldick teaches that God expects verbal confession, not just a mental nod. In Romans 10, God wants a person to communicate — to tell Him out loud, "Lord, I'm a sinner," and "Lord, I want you to save me," rather than assuming God reads an unspoken thought (Clip 0). When a person believes the gospel and claims the promise, "thou shalt be saved," that believer has every right to rest on it and even hold God accountable to His Word (Clip 1). Les emphasizes that this faith is a concerted faith and trust in what God did on the cross. Christ's work was so personal that even if you were the only person, Christ would still have gone to the cross to purchase your redemption. God sees that faith as salvation, just as He counted Abraham's faith as righteousness (Clip 2). Salvation, Les says, is the all-inclusive work of God done instantly at the moment of belief: He forgives, justifies, sanctifies, glorifies, baptizes into the body, and seals and fills with the Holy Spirit. You may not feel any of it, but you know it because the Book says so (Clip 3). Les warns against head knowledge that only acknowledges the historical facts. True belief knows that Christ died for us and that we were buried with Him (Clip 4). Salvation is much more than a "fire escape" — it is the daily assurance that you are His and He is yours (Clip 5). The believer stands before God covered with the righteousness of Christ, and mouth confession is made unto salvation (Clip 6). The first step of faith is to agree with God's verdict: we are sinners, sons of Adam; but God has also declared that we can be justified freely (Clip 7).
A person must believe in the heart that God raised Christ from the dead and confess with the mouth that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9). Les Feldick stresses that this confession should be verbal and specific: tell God you recognize you are a sinner and ask Him to save you. He says, "Don't just assume that God reads your heart" — He wants us to actually say it out loud (Clip 0).
Believing with the heart means more than accepting a historical fact. Les explains that true believers know that "when Christ died, He died for us" and "when He was buried, we were buried with Him" (Clip 4). It is a wholehearted trust so personal that Christ would have died for you alone even if no one else existed (Clip 2). Romans 10:10 says, "with the heart man believeth unto righteousness" — this is not head knowledge but an inner conviction that becomes the basis of righteousness.
Les Feldick teaches that salvation is an all-inclusive work of God done instantly the moment a person believes. God forgives, justifies, sanctifies, glorifies, baptizes the believer into the body, and seals and fills with the Holy Spirit. These are not things a person necessarily feels, but they are true because the Book says so (Clip 3). The believer is also covered with the righteousness of Christ, enabling him to stand in God's presence without shame (Clip 6).
Les Feldick points to the direct promise of God: "thou shalt be saved" is a fact, not a maybe or a hope. Because God said it, believers have every right to rest on the promise and can even hold God accountable to His own Word (Clip 1). Les also says believers know salvation is true because the Book says so, not because of feelings or visible signs (Clips 3, 5).
Verbal Confession Is Required
Les teaches that God expects a person to verbalize faith — telling God out loud that they are a sinner and asking to be saved — rather than relying on silent mental assent.
Resting on God's Promise
Les shows that "thou shalt be saved" is a promise from God; believers can rest on it and even hold God accountable because He said it.
Faith That God Sees as Salvation
Les explains that a concerted faith in Christ's payment for sin is so personal that Christ would have died for you alone; God counts that faith as righteousness, just as with Abraham.
Salvation Is an Instant, All-Inclusive Work
Les teaches that at the moment of belief, God forgives, justifies, sanctifies, glorifies, baptizes, seals, and fills the believer — all by an act of God, known through Scripture rather than feelings.
Heart Belief vs. Head Knowledge
Les contrasts head knowledge with heart belief, showing that true believers know Christ died for them and they were buried with Him.
Salvation Brings Day-by-Day Assurance
Les teaches that salvation is more than escaping hell; it gives the daily assurance that you are His and He is yours, known because the Book says so.
Clothed With the Righteousness of Christ
Les teaches that believers stand before God covered with Christ's righteousness, and confession is made unto salvation.
First Step of Faith Is Agreeing We Are Sinners
Les teaches that the first step of faith is believing what God says about us — that we are sinners, sons of Adam — and then accepting that God freely justifies us.
Romans 10:9: 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.
This is the central promise of salvation: confession and heart belief together result in being saved.
Romans 10:10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
This verse explains that heart belief is for righteousness and mouth confession is for salvation.
Romans 10:11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
It promises that no one who believes in Christ will be disappointed or ashamed.
Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
It extends the promise of salvation to everyone who calls on the Lord.
Romans 4:3: For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
It connects salvation by faith with the Old Testament example of Abraham.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
This is the gospel content Les says is implied when a person believes that God raised Jesus from the dead.
No, Les Feldick says that is only mental ascent. God wants a person to verbalize faith — to confess with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and to tell Him out loud, "Lord, I want you to save me." Romans 10:9 joins confession with heart belief as the path to salvation.
No. Les teaches that you will not necessarily feel glorified or see a halo. Salvation includes many acts God does instantly, but you know they happened because the Book says so, not because of feelings.
The gospel is that Christ died, was buried, and rose again from the dead. Les explains that when Romans 10:9 says believe that God raised Him from the dead, it also implies the rest of the gospel — His death and burial for us.
Yes. Les points to Abraham as the example: Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness. Salvation by faith is the same principle throughout Scripture.
Yes. Les says when God promises, "thou shalt be saved," it is a fact. Because God said it, believers can believe it and even hold God accountable to His own Word.
