How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!


How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13 GOD SAYS=

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your 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 whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved....................

---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

An example prayer for those that have never talked to God!

Heavenly Father:........................................... ...............................
I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of
my Sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my
heart that Jesus is your Son, And that he died on the
Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have
Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now
to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and
Savior. I repent of my Sins and will Worship you all the
day's of my Life!. Because your word is truth, I confess
with my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed
by the Blood of Jesus! In Jesus Name, Amen

You dont have to say this prayer to be saved. This example of this type of prayer is about 100 years old. What did they all do before that?
The philipian jailer asked what must I do. Believe Peter said. My wife never ever asked Jesus into her life. He just came in. She was actully refusing continually as I was a Christian long before her. I did say the prayer. God looks at the heart.

Yes!! God tells us how to be saved and the prayer I posted was just an example for those that have never talked to AGod!!Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13 GOD SAYS=

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man

Yes so that leaves the question I asked what did they do before this paryer? The confession cannot come before the belief impossible. You believe in your heart and may well believe in your heart a long time before you confess anything. So if you believe in your heart you are saved. Then you confess with your mouth. So my wife believed in her heart and new God was real. Then she confessed. But she never said your prayer or any prayer. so what does that mean to you? Would you say she is not a Christian. I wont be offended feel free if you think that to say it.

Well said GISMYS_7. Something always happens in the heart before we get to the point of confession and belief. Usually it's Gods Spirit working and wooing you to come into his presence...

Lets not forget the next verse:

Romans 10:14
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

God says man has no excuse to not know that God is very real!

God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.#1:18 Or who, by their wickedness, prevent the truth from being known.19They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
21Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.Romans 1:18-22

Satan and his fellow devils knows God is real, and Paul explains (don’t remember where) that men truly know there is a Creator and Judge whether they admit it or not. The witness of creation makes it no excuse to not believe there is a God alone.

It’s the Gospel that tells how to be saved by God, in the context of the Truth the Way and the Life. Which starts with “repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand” and acknowledgment of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ is also required and in that acknowledgement, we believe trust that we must be born of Spirit because He said so.

To pray:

To ask earnestly, humbly, or supplicatingly, to beseech; to make devout petition to; to ask (a person) for something as a favour or act of grace; esp. in religious use, to make devout and humble supplication. Hence asking anyone


Therefore, in this case we are talking about asking earnestly in the name of Jesus Christ (the acknowledgement) with a repentant heart that He sees like you see another person’s face.



Hence then being born of God’s Presence by God’s Presence:


Joh_14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Rev_3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.


Should confession to others of one’s now new Faith be required for salvation, actually yea, even the thief on the cross acknowledged Jesus verbally. But its been my experience that when one knows they have been saved and have just experienced the Presence of God and are now born again, have a real hard time not telling anyone who is within ears distance that they have found God or something to that order for at least the next 6 months or more.

but the bottom line is the request (prayer) is mandatory everyone must ask for God's Mercy.
