I'm sure Adopted will give a good reply.

But how about these verses as a basis to make public confession. After all isn't our confession of faith part of our Christian life.

[color:"0000FF"]Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32, 33 [/color]

[color:"0000FF"]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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9, 10[/color]

Also a profession also depends on a churches view of the "Lord's Supper".

And just look at the damage being done by mega churches and there looseness
towards membership.
