YES. but you have to mean what you say. God will know if you mean it or not.

Yes, with all my heart. And as for Yahwe's Toaster, Check the verse out for yourself. This verse is not being taken out of context. Romans 10:13 says these very words exactly. When you call upon His name, it has to be done with sincerity. You just can't call upon His name and then go out into the world and keep on doing the same things. Because then, it wouldn't do you any good to call His name to be saved. God will save you if you are sincere about it.

No.
At least not isolated and out of the context of what Paul means by this. Paul doesn't mean a verbal cry of a name, he is suggesting someone who puts faith in God and, thus, is transformed into a new creation that moves out beyond her own ego.
And the name itself is unimportant, really. Romans 2:13-15 indicates that many who do not know the name of the Lord are saved because they act as if they knew.

Strangely, this is true.... but not only will those who call upon the name of the Lord be saved, but everyone else will be "saved" as well.
The point of the passage is not the term "saved", but is rather the phrase "removed from the cycle of life and death". And this brings us to the term "name" of the Lord. What is the mystical "name" of the Lord?
Truly if one Knows this "name", then by all means use this Knowledge to gain your release from "life". But who actually Knows the "name" of the Lord?
This "name" is a sound that exists within each of us, but it cannot be "heard" until one learns to withdraw ones consciousness high enough within oneself that one awakens to its melody. By listening to this Sound, one "calls upon the Lord" and one is heard by God. This is the mystical reality of the "name" of God.
Peace

yes, I do believe this to be true. Just as I believe that our Lord wants no one to perish. But you must call out, just as Peter did when walking upon the sea.

Yes, no one can tell me the Lord doesn't exist, I've had something happen that really opened my eyes.

I think in the case of dying that would be true and correct.
but if your healthy that is just the first step, you need to learn and grow within the faith. You just can't say 'I am saved" and go about your normal lifestyle, you do change.

Absolutely.
No matter how bad or sinful a person is, if they truly confess their sins to the Lord, He will hear them and forgive them.

No I do not.
Some people tell me that if you ask for forgiveness, God will forgive you.
Others tell me that some sins can not be forgiven and you will go to hell for them.
As a result, I choose not to believe either of them.
The only person that can save me is myself.
If there is a God, and I'm not entirely sure if there is or isn't, I think he would encourage me to save myself and handle my own problems.

Stop taking the Bible out of context.
