ThankfulForever777 LSM is notorious for yanking verses out of context. The verses prior to Rom 10.13 speak of believing in your heart and confessing with your heart that God has raised the Lord Jesus from the dead, the Saviour who died on the cross for our sins. The verses after it speak about going out, preaching the Gospel, believing the message about our Saving Lord. Notice how they mechanize "calling" without hearing the gospel, repenting, believing, confessing, etc.

Without the foundation of faith in the message of the truth of the Gospel, good words on our lips may be nothing more than vanity. But for those who believe the Gospel, the Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him.

When WL launched into his "scientific" method of faith, sometime near the "Perfecting Training" in the early 80's, his ministry seriously declined. Many of us saw that. Everything became a "how to." Next up was that horrible "New Way" which began in 1985.
