Confession is made unto Salvation

Romans 10:8-10
New King James Version (NKJV)

⁸ But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”^[a] (that is, the word of faith which we preach): ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
