So you are saying if someone is not saved by saying the magic words that God is not within them? And that once they say the magic words, the Holy Spirt someone enters into them? Where does it enter, through their toes or maybe their eyes?

You aren’t saved by ‘magic words’. One is saved by faith and faith alone.

Same word for faith is used for believe, PISTIS.

After you have faith in what Christ provided at the Cross, the output from your spirit thru the soul is manifest in the spoken word, while remaining in fellowship with Him.

Simply saying the words without faith in Him is good for nothingness.

This is why Jesus shared much with His disciples and told them not to share it. As if you give your pearls to swine, they will turn and devour you.

People do speak to God when they are being saved, but that is not what saves anyone. Sure, we confess (agree) with Him as to our need to be saved, but it is with the heart (or the bowels, or the innermost part of our very being) that we believe that He is able to save us.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 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. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed” (Romans 10:8-11).
