Rom 10:13
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
One of the most abused scriptures in the Bible, along with Jn 3:16 is Rom 10:13 because mans religion has used it to promote salvation conditioned on man, on a work of man, or something a man/person must do[mentally] in order to get saved.
The fact of the matter is that a lost person dead in sin , without Spiritual life and light, cannot and will not Call upon the Name of the Lord.
A person doesnt call upon the Name of the Lord until they are quickned with new life. Ps 80:18
18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
The Spirit in New Birth quickens the elect Sheep Jn 6:63
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
This quickening must precede any Spiritually relevant calling upon the Name of the Lord !
The flesh, [being unregenerate] is worthless in this matter !
