OUR LIFE IS SECURE IN CHRIST: If you prayed this sinner's prayer (above) asking Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life, the Bible explains that you belong to Him and that you have been adopted out of Satan's family into God's family. Welcome to the family of God!
Understand that as a child of God, you are forever secure in His family! Just as there is nothing your own child can do to sever his/her relationship with you as a son or daughter, so it is with God. Once you are spiritually “born again” into God's family, you belong to HIM for all eternity! Because the penalty of all of your sins—past, present and future—have been atoned for by the blood of Christ, you stand righteous in God's eyes—no longer standing in your unworthy rages of pride, but standing pure and blameless, covered in the priceless blood of Christ. His Holy Spirit comes to dwell within you and you begin a new life as He transforms your heart from the inside out. Indeed, this is what Eternal Life is all about! Now that you have it, you have it for eternity!

John 5:24: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”
John 6:47: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.”
Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Romans 8:8-9: “and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.”
Romans 8:14: “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”
2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore if any man is in Christ, He is a new creature, old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.”

Now you say I must pray ( If you prayed this sinner's prayer (above) asking Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life, the Bible explains that you belong to Him and that you have been adopted out of Satan's family into God's family. Welcome to the family of God!) before God will accept what I do.

you have also said I can not do anything to be saved, and you said I must believe and pray before I can be saved.

Very confusing.

Try first to place just a little more faith than no faith whatsoever in what He provides for salvation. (This statement is not sarcastic, nor implies anything derogatory, but is intended to communicate a vary simple concept, which is only grasped with the use of faith.)

It is not that confusing - back to your bicycle boy notes I see.
