The sinners prayer is that of repentance. Also in most churches it is popular for an unbeliever to become a "believer" by repeating a prayer. For example a person instructs an unbeliever to repeat after them. The little prayer usually consists of "forgive me of my sins and come into my heart". It's just the blind leading the blind in my opinion.I believe that it is a joke and a waste of time. True repentance comes when a person comes to God face to face and the conviction of the Holy Spirit causes the sinner to break down into tears and even convulsions. Some people may say that this is too traditional, but if you're not on your knees pleading for mercy, then chances are that you're not saved and you're just another carnal christian. I'm sick and tired of people going through the fake salvation process and turning out into liberal believers who "love" Jesus, but know nothing nor care about scripture and major doctrines.I believe that the true repentance is the line that separates the people walking in the wide path from the people who walk in the narrow path. God did say that many "believers" will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. Only the true believers will.Matthew 7:22,23
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
If any of you have scripture regarding true salvation, I would appreciate you for posting it.
