Observations
Public confession is not required for salvation
The thrust of modern Bible study today--what does the passage mean to me
Romans 10:8-13 follows Hebrew parallelism
What about Luke 12:8-9?
Always interpret harmonistically--never take one passage against another
Parties involved in justification
The unbeliever
The messenger
God
