CALLING ON THE NAME OF THE LORD TO BE SAVED I. WHAT IS NOT MEANT A. Calling out with one’s voice, Rom. 10:13; Matt. 7:21; Lk. 6:46
“The way is to call on His name, to praise the Lord, to sing a hymn, and to cry out and shout.” (http://www.callingonthelord.org/quotes/quotes.html#1d) “When we preach the gospel and help others to be saved, we need to encourage them to call on the name of the Lord and say, `O Lord Jesus!’ From experience we know that the stronger a person calls on the name of the Lord Jesus, the stronger will be his experience of salvation. Let us suppose that someone who has heard the preaching of the gospel and who wants to be saved prays softly and weakly, `Lord Jesus, You love me, and You died for me. I believe in You.’ It may be difficult to recognize that one who prays in such a weak manner is saved. However, suppose someone strongly calls on the name of the Lord Jesus and says, `Lord Jesus! O Lord Jesus! I'm a sinner, Lord, but You died for me! O Lord Jesus, I love You!’ No doubt, anyone who prays like this, calling strongly on the name of the Lord, is saved. He may even be beside himself with joy in the Lord for His salvation.” (http://www.campuslife.utoronto.ca/groups/coc/fellowship/issue09.htm)
