Is The Sinners Prayer All That Evil?

Ever since Paul Washer came out with his Shocking Message, many people have taken what he said and gone above and beyond what he meant. Way too many people now are making videos and saying the sinners prayer is evil. It isn't the words that should be at issue but the heart of the person who says these words, and this is what's not being talked about.

and thats the big difference... you repented.... I was just wanting a "get out of Hell free" card. No repentance... just didnt like the idea of hell. If saying some words kept me from hell then I was all for it. But in my heart I still wanted my own way. And yes i was "sincere" i sincerely didnt want to go to hell... I just didnt sincerly want to follow God at that time in my life.

@preciousone1962 I understand. I'm glad that you are walking with the Lord now.

I said the words when I was 8 yrs old, but i did not become God's child till I was 37 yrs old, and realized  that niether God nor His Love were in my heart... that I had not seen it, wasnt sure if it was real, but I didnt have it and i needed God and His love desperatly

Its the honest fervernt cry from the heart for Him that God hears... not the words themselves.

@preciousone1962 I was about that age too, but my pastor told me that my sins are keeping me from God, and if I wanted to be saved, I must repent and put my faith in Jesus. I did that and tried to live a Godly life, but I fell so much.

I know that I was born again that day, but didn't realize what a walk with Jesus meant. The churches I went to never taught me much of any thing, so I just went my own way for a while. But the Holy Spirit convicted me, and I came running back to Jesus.

pretty soon christians are gonna act as catholics,, making people learned, so many things and go truh rituals,, that is not the way... salvation is personal, is like asking your your girlfriend to marry you , each does it own way,,, like this guy says is no the woords but the hart

@carpentersdaughter2 Thats the problem! THERE IS NO GODLY SORROW! Its just some 4 or five step thing, most people saying that prayer don't realize how pitiful, hopeless, wicked protest and weak they are to a HOLY RIGHTEOUS GOD, but they say they deserve to go to Hell anyway... True repentance leads to True salvation, with evidence the person has Truly been saved, no four or five "things God wants you to know" is going to help them Truly realize this!

[preciousone1962]

For By Grace (Gods power to transform the heart) ye are saved Through Faith (your choice to believe and put your love,hope and trust in) and that not of yourselves (your own ability), Its is a gift of God ( mercy and love demonstrated through Christ death on the cross) not of works(no act, deed, way of man) lest any man should boast

@carpentersdaughter2 You see, men are dead in their sins, but the work of the Holy Spirit opens the eyes of men to see that they need God in their lives. The biggest problem Calvinist have is that they have been engrained to believe that free will doesn't exist.

Right from the Garden free will has been with us..free will is a gift too from God, and when we use that free will, we are not doing works when we finally see by the work of the Holy Spirit, that we need God. This is not works!!!
