They teach that a person is saved by prayer.

Completely false. They merely lead people through a prayer of confession once the person has heard and believed in the Gospel, and made a decision of their own to repent. No Baptist church I have ever seen has taught that one is "saved by prayer."

After careful thought and consideration on what the Baptist teach concerning being saved by faith + Noting or saved by Faith + Prayer. I am left puzzled

I find a great problem. If the Baptist teach Faith only, No works == salvation, then to add Prayer before salvation would be a work that you must do. A true Baptist must deny this . However if put after salvation then not necessary to be saved. Since all the baptist Web sights and all the Baptist I have ever heard including Bill Graham(http://bgea.org/SH_StepsToPeace.asp) tell everyone to pray and ask Jesus into their Heart then one of the Following must be true

1. That you can be saved without Jesus in your Heart

2.The Baptist say Faith only but don’t believe it

3. That Jesus is already in their heart and you are asking Jesus to do that which he has all ready done. That would make no sense and would show a lack of faith that he was truly in your heart

when one goes down the road of false Doctrine one will hit a dead end
