Doesn't the Father have to draw someone to the Son for them to be saved, though? If Paul prayed for the salvation of Israel knowing that some would not be saved, then I guess people who are saved praying for the salvation of people who are not saved is ok.

I might have asked this question in the past. Who raised Jesus from the dead? Did the Father raise Jesus from the dead? Did Jesus raise Himself from the dead? Did the Holy Spirit raise Jesus from the dead? Was it all three? If I asked this question in the past it might be something I need to...

Are we supposed to ask the Father, and in Jesus' name? If we're supposed to ask in Jesus' name, are we supposed to end the prayer by saying "in Jesus' name I pray"? Should the prayer be ended by saying "Amen"? This might be a silly question, but if we ask the Father for something in prayer, in...

This is what it means to believe on Jesus' name? Jesus rose again as a sign that people who are saved are now righteous before God?

I guess I don't know what it means. Are you saying believing in Jesus' name is enough to be saved? Like just believing in His name - Jesus? I guess I don't understand.

What does it mean to believe on Jesus' name?

Thanks for the advice then. I might have gotten into trouble with gotquestions.org in the past though (though I might still use them in the future, but maybe more carefully, if need be).

Are you saying "predestination" is not based upon the will of God the Father? Or are you disagreeing with "predestination"?

I think I might have just wanted to get answers to my questions.

I don't know if I've read all of Romans 8, but I think "predestination" being based upon the will of God the Father was sort of what I arrived at reading Romans 8:29 (if that is the right verse).

What do you mean?

I guess I don't know the answer to the question I asked? What is "predestination" based upon? The will of God the Father? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A29-30&version=KJV

Maybe someone else can contribute on the issue of whether the NIV version of Romans 10:9 is incorrect? (are you trying to make this point?) Also I edited the post you quoted, unless I'm mistaken. The edited version might read better.

I guess I still have this hang-up.

Maybe someone else can contribute? My head is kind of messed up, but I might have had the notion that if you confess "Jesus is Lord" and believe God raised Him from the dead, you would be saved (and I might still have this notion, I guess it's complicated though). I guess in the past I might...

So you're saying the NIV version of Romans 10:9 is incorrect?

Are you sure? Maybe read the NIV version of Romans 10:9. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10:9&version=NIV
