What does this mean?
By "calling" are we referring to mere vocalization, or must something else be attached to the plea for salvation to the name? |
It means what it says. If you want to be saved, you have to call on the name of the Lord. I believe it involves vocalization of his name (after all the believer is calling on Jesus to save him/her). I think the stress in that verse is "whosoever" calls on the name of the Lord. It's something we do throughout the process of the new birth.
