I can show you dozens of commandments and examples from the Bible that support Baptism.

Can you please show me just one reference to this “sinners prayer” you speak of?

So? Nobody here is denying there is a sacrament of Baptism. They are denying it is a prerequisite for salvation and you can't provide any convincing proof texts for that.

Your joking right?

Romans 10:9-11 (King James Version)

9That 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.

10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

An example of one from the mouth of Billy Graham

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.

"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation". (Ro. 10:9-10).

Basically this is what the "sinners prayer" is all about. Note that baptism is not required for salvation in this verse!
