THREE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:

Does what you have been reading make sense to you? Is there any reason why you would not be willing to receive God’s gift of eternal life? Are you willing to place your faith in Jesus right now and turn from your sin? The Bible says, "For Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans.10:13). You need to ask the Lord to save you.

Read this prayer and see if it says what you want to say to God. "Dear God, I know that Jesus is Your Son, and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. I know I have sinned and need forgiveness. I am willing to turn from my sins and receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ name. Amen" Call upon the Lord in repentance, faith, and surrender, using these or similar words of your own, and Jesus will become your Savior and Lord. Welcome to the family of God! You have just made the most important decision of your life.

Salvation Page Sinners Prayer

: " Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when he died on the Cross. I believe that He shed his blood, Died on the Cross, and rose again, for my sins. I now recieve Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your mercifull grace. Amen. " All that's left for you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding out for you right now. "If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans 10:9-10 God says that if you believe in His son, Jesus, you can live forever with Him in glory. "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16

Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering you right now? If it is your sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your heart: Here's a Suggested Prayer: "Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I do not deserve eternal life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free gift of eternal life."

Wait... your tagline: “Just Because I Am Born Again...” (Very clever, BTW.)

Mormons aren’t “born again”, so I apologize for the insinuation.

he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and you just showed you don’t either. Even what you quote doesn’t claim the prayer saves, or praying it.

Baloney. Baptists teach that we are saved by the grace of God,
“Reconciled to God, by God.”

On the other hand, the Church of Christ refuses to allow women to even give their testimony between the opening prayer and closing prayer in their sanctuary. That’s a shame.

I am thankful for John 3:16, count all that believe in the Son as my brothers and sisters in Christ, and thank God, He’s God.

I will agree with this! It is my belief that Baptists should spend most of their Sunday School teaching DOCTRINE instead of discussing last week’s football game or parroting the “teaching guide” sent out by the SBC.

Why am I saying this! I’m not even a Baptist but I go there!
