Rom 10 was written to believers , not unbelievers. Believing and confessing are evidences of salvation, good works

You have it backwards BF.

Salvation is the result of believing and confessing.

Note what it says BF.

Rom 10:9 that
if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved;

No, Paul is preaching the Gospel to people o Faith, he heard of their faith Rom 1:8

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

and he wanted to preach to them, the Gospel Vs 15

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.


He wanted to impart spiritual truth to them for mutual edification vs 11-12

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

Rom 10:9-10 was for their assurance

Faith has nothing to do with unconditional election to salvation, the elect are chosen for salvation b4 they existed.
Denial of 2 Thessalonians 2:13. Baptists claim scripture has the final say on doctrine, but Calvinist say their doctrine has final say over scripture.

No individual is chosen for salvation unconditionally, that is precluded by 1 Peter 2:9-10.

There will be no explanation for 1 Peter 2:9-10 or 2 Thessalonians 2:13, only deflection and the posting of non-germane verbiage.

There is no need to use terms such as "denial of the tr wards other BB members is unnecessary.
Yes, we may have different views of doctrines, but we can show some respect.
