Context
In Romans 10, Paul is explaining righteousness by faith, the nearness of the word, and the necessity of confession and belief in Christ. The chapter belongs to his larger argument about the gospel, Israel, and salvation through faith rather than law.
Common Interpretations
The debt — the wages of sin (Romans 6:23) — is cancelled at faith through the sacrifice of Christ. This is the forgiveness of the debt: aphesis — a releasing. Heaven is secured. The Holy Spirit indwells. None of this waits for baptism.
