What must one confess to be saved?

Paul said “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:9,13). (Lord - kurios in the Septuagint and the N.T., represents Jehovah in the Hebrew.) Thomas confessed Jesus as “my Lord (Kurios) and my God (Theos) (Jn. 20:28). The I Am spoke to Moses from a bush (Ex. 3:14); Jesus claimed to be I Am (Jn. 8:58). That implies He and the Father are the same in essence –Deity ( Jn. 10:30). The eunuch believed in his heart, confessed Christ with his mouth and was baptized to be saved (Acts 8:37; Rom. 10:10).
