'Confesses' in the Bible

For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.

Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father [either]; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God.
