I read a great quote it states
"When we can find hardly any instance of our favorite theological category
in the whole of the four Gospels, we need to be wary of How important our own
interpretations and theological favorites are" I have to ask the
question,is the Romans Road a man made method or what Jesus Taught? Some of
these scriptures I can't find in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) at
all. The Plan of Salvation according to Jesus within the Gospels was Believe
(Salvation) followed by Repentance (To turn from Self and Sin to Him) with a
call to pick up your cross and follow Him. This is the consistent message from
Jesus Himself. No Prayer was ever recorded for salvation or No confessing with
the mouth. We need to dig into Roman history to find the true meaning of what
Paul is saying. Many today say that Romans would profess Caesar as Lord and not
Jesus. The result is Paul pleading with them to Profess Jesus as Lord, not
Caesar. In 1st century Rome denying Caesar would mean you would be in danger of
your life. A person professing Jesus would indicate true belief. Today this
wouldn't apply directly in the context of the passage. I find the Romans road
creates what is called easy-believism. True belief results in denying self and
relentlessly pursuing Christ as the only hope.
