I was told that the sinners prayer is not in the Bible and that I was taught a lie.....was I taught a lie? In the Bible, does it say... to ask Jesus to come into your heart?

Is not accepting Christ as Saviour, cometh from the words of ones heart?

We pray directly to the Father through the Son. We do not need to say some "prayer" prescribed by a church or pastor, nor do we need to say the prayer out loud. Sometimes though, it might be helpful if another Christian gives some direction. The Spirit of God is the One that is causing our hearts to seek a relationship with the Father.

a lot of people accept Jesus as there savior, but really never change. I want more than knowing Jesus, I want to know that Jesus knows me! I do not want to face Him and hear...depart from me I never knew you.

Words are just words. Words are just empty... People say stuff all the time...

Christ knows your heart, He does not depend on our words, or what others think. He knows when we are sincere. That is what "grace through faith" is all about.
