“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
