(c) "to declare openly by way of speaking out freely, such confession being the effect of deep conviction of facts," Matt. 7:23; Matt. 10:32 (twice) and Luke 12:8 . . . “conveys the thought of "confessing" allegiance to Christ as one's Master and Lord, . . .—Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words W. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, 2007

  17. Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) 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.

  18. 1 John 4:15-16 (NKJV) 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. W. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, 2007

  19. 1 Peter 3:21-22 (NASB77) 21 And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you —not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience — through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him. W. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, 2007

  20. Arndt & Gingrich. Baptism is “an appeal to God for a clear conscience” (Greek Lexicon, p. 285). Kittel’s Theological Dictionary (Abridged), the rendition is this: “Baptism does not confer physical cleansing but saves as a request for forgiveness . . .” (p. 262). W. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, 2007

  21. Johnson, Barton W. . . . "the interrogation of a good conscience." "Inquiry" would be still better. The soul seeking the forgiveness of sins "inquires" What shall I do to remove the sense of unforgiven sins and make my conscience void of offense? The answer is "Repent and be baptized," etc. See Acts 2:38. He who obeys the word of the Lord has the "inquiry" answered in baptism. "Commentary on 1 Peter 3". "People's New Testament".
