Why bother asking your friends, neighbors, and fellow church goers to pray for you. They are dead in sin, just like the rest of us.

Speak for yourself.

Born again believers are not dead in sin any more. They are alive in Christ.

It's irrelevant that they are still here on earth.

[SpirituTuo]

Nice dodge. Utter depravity, eternal security, and other novel beliefs confuse those who believe them.

All on Earth are sinners, not angels. All in Heaven have been found worthy by the Father. If a person on Earth is alive in Christ, is not a soul in Heaven also alive in Christ?

If both are alive in Christ (the spiritual body of Christ), then intercessory prayers of those alive in Christ in Heaven are efficacious. So, thanks for making my point for me.
