It's good, but you forget a very important part of the gospel. It's Romans 10:13, which is quoted from Joel 2:32, which states that "everyone who calls on the name of YHWH will be saved," which isn't what Jesus' name is. Actually, this may be one of the most important things in all of the gospel. Jesus' real name is actually Yeshua which means "YHWH saves" or "YHWH is salvation." This part should be understood.The new birth being born again comes through the message of the gospel. It doesn't come before but after faith.
1 Peter 1:21-24
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God. 22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For,
“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
And this is the word that was preached to you.
So Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ !
Romans 10
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” 16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
hope this helps !!!
This is the very same One that Yeshua called out to for his own salvation from death when he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and was heard because of His reverent submission to God. YHWH saves us and saves Jesus.
Hebrews 5 (NIV)
7During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
