That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Easy enough. If you believe in your heart that Jesus is the Lord and Savior, that God raised Him from the dead, and you tell this to others, then Jesus Christ is, indeed, your Lord and Savior. Say it, believe it. Salvation is that simple.
I know you question me REB, but I truly do believe this. With all my heart I do. Jesus Christ IS my Lord and Savior.

Romans 10:9 summarizes christianity in a nutshell!
It says that if you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you will be saved.
That is all you need my friend! Nothing complicated like last rites or other dogmas in the market. Christianity is that simple :)
All you have to do after that is, love the lord your God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself!

Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (10) For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
This passage describes a person who has been given the gift of faith by God through the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (9) not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
It doesn't mean that if someone just says some words and gives an intellectual assent to the gospel message they will be saved. A person who truly believes has already had the Holy Spirit giving them a regenerated "heart" and they have been adopted into God's family by being "born again" by the Spirit.
John 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, (13) who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

The verse is heavily dependent on what has just gone before cf. go up to heaven/down to get word.
The verse is written in the manner of the OT where the two items are in correlation (Jewish) and not our more familiar causation 1 brings 2 (Greek).
Paul is proclaiming that to believe in Jesus is to believe in the resurrection. They are correlated and held together.
Finally, placing this in mouth and heart, Paul is seeking to emphasize the great intimacy/closeness of God verse those deities which must be sought out at the ends of the world.
I am thinking on putting a Bible study in here. Let me know what you think. Thanks. It would be like 4 to 7 chapters a day.

Romans 10:10-11..... explain exactly what Romans 10:9 means....
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness...and with the mouth confession is made unto SALVATION...
So yes Romans 10:9 is saying that if you confess and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you shall "SURELY" be saved
For the scripture says...Whoever believes on Jesus Christ, "SHALL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME"....
whoever calls on the name of the Lord...."SHALL BE SAVED"
Dont let these wannabe comedians...distract you with thier insults..because you kno what? no matter how evil and cruel they are to others....and no matter hard they try to slander the name of the Lord....the beautiful thing about christianity is that, God's free gift of salvation is "STILL" available to them also...
(John 3:16)

The interpretation of Romans 10: 9 is quite simple. Salvation comes through righteousness to those who believe in Christ--that He was the first to be resurrected by the power that He and His Father hold.

Because God has made his Son the key figure in the outworking of all his purposes (Ro 16:25-27), life depends upon obedience to “the good news about our Lord Jesus,” and this obedience includes making public declaration of one’s faith in him.—2Th 1:8; Ro 10:8-10, 16; 1Pe 4:17.

If you believe that Jesus is the Lord and Saviour, and that God raised Him from dead, and you say so to the others, than Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour.
Simple as that.

He is the Lord and Savior and if you confess with your mouth and you believe in your heart that God sent him and raised him from the dead and by confessing asked forgiveness and believeth unto righteousness,then yes he is your Lord and Savior.

Are you asking if Jesus and Godare the smae person? The answer is no. God and Jesus are two sperate beings. Lord and Savior are both references to Jesus as a name of repect. Lord doesn't neccesarily mean God.
