Romans 10:9-10

King James Version (Chapter 10)

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

Luke 12:8 KJV 1900

Acknowledge; profess, admit, declare

Confess with thy mouth

Do you love being with other Christians?

Are you concerned with God’s glory?

Are you able to give a reason for the hope when asked?

Are you not ashamed of Christ, regardless of the consequences?

The answers to these questions will reveal the truth about ones heart
