Rom. 10. 10. With the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Confession is here joined to believing, as necessary to salvation. This I conceive to be the meaning of those places which hold forth the necessity of Baptism, He that believes and is baptized,1 shall be saved.

As if Christ should say, If you would not lose your souls eternally, look to this, make profession of the truth, as you are called to it; 3though you live in a wicked and an adulterous generation, yet be not ashamed of me before them; for if you be, your souls may go for it eternally.
