Unfortunately, it puts a glaring light on your deficit in understanding.

True believers never needed to have a sheet of paper with a contrived prayer shoved in their face to recite.

True believers say their prayer of their own volition when moved upon by the Holy Spirit, and not at any meaningless revival meeting.

I’ve been to enough of those meetings to know that the lost nicolaitans that run them want to believe that the words on their handout sheet are all that is needed for salvation. They are no more enlightened in the spirit than the catholics with their beads and rote chants.

Wow! So you have assigned to yourself the infallibility of determining who is sincere and who is not!! What an accomplishment! Have you notified God of your decisions?

Okay... I think I’ve slipped into the Twilight Zone! Editor-surveyor and I agree on the vast majority of what he’s saying in response to CynicalBear, et al...

I think I need an aspirin... :)
