********************************
The word for "confession" is "homologia", the noun form of the verb homologeo. Literally, it means something like, "to speak the same words".
By far the most common usage of "homologeo" and its cognates in the NT has to do with the public acknowledgment of one's Christian faith.
Examples:
· Mt. 10.32: "Everyone who acknowledges (homologesei) me before others, I will also acknowledge before my father in heaven."
· Jn. 9.22: "[T]he Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed (homologesi) Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue."
· Romans 10.9-10: "[I]f you confess (homologhseis) with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses (homologeitai) with the mouth and so is saved".
· 2 Cor. 9.13: "Through the testing of this ministry you glorify God by your obedience to the confession (homologias) of the gospel of Christ and by the generosity of your sharing with them and with all others?."
· In the Johannine epistles, this confession begins to take on tones of very specific ideas regarding right and wrong doctrine, probably because of the anti-docetic polemic in these letters. For instance, in 1 Jn 4.2-3 we read, "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses (homologei) that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess (homologei) Jesus is not from God."
For other examples of the usage of homologeo and its cognates as indicating a confession of Christian faith, see Jn. 12.42; Acts 24.24; 1 Tim. 6.12; 1 Jn. 2.23; 1 Jn 4.15; 2 Jn 1.17.
----> Pienso que está clarísimo: que el sentido del término "homologei" ahí es el de "confesar o declarar abiertamente, o públicamente", lo cual implica "confesión de fe".
