'Confesses' in the Bible

For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.

However, God's solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from evil."

Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either. The person who confesses the Son has the Father also.

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

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