Also - "confess" comes from a compound Greek work "homo" - same,
"logeo" - to say or announce the message - therefore, "to say the same thing." Jesus is Lord whether we admit it or not - to confess Jesus is Lord, is simply to say the same thing God has said about His Son - He is Lord!
Admit it - believe it - confess it - and you will be saved!

I'm beginning to see so much more, too, of how much salvation is a process. Yes, there is the moment of turning, and once we commit our souls to Christ, they're His, I fully believe, but if we fail to see salvation as an ongoing "being saved," then what's to keep us from making it a one time ordeal with no true transformation. Christ is all about change. That's what being saved is--admit, believe, confess, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind, continually receiving a newer and newer heart and spirit, day by day. Salvation requires growth to be true.
