Rich My understanding of repentance in context of usage Acts 2:38 Repent and be baptized, the word repentance in that usage is to have a total change in state if mind and turn to God.
So I figure their sinners prayer is talking about the repentance, where as after born again forgiveness is after your born again and you sin and thank God for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ. In His Service
I think what someone meant by a 'sinners prayer' is a prayer to confess sin and profess faith in Jesus Christ. Is that your understanding?
Not all Christians necessarily call this a sinners prayer and I think the term is simply a convenient term to convey a prayer for becoming a Christian. There are scriptures supporting this type of prayer, like 1 John 1:9.
The specific term you heard isn't in the Bible, but just because a term isn't in the Bible doesn't mean the action behind it is automatically invalidated. For example, the word Bible isn't in the Bible, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't read and believe the Bible. The phrase "altar call" isn't in the Bible either, but is Biblical.
The steps we need to start our Faith journey with our Lord!
As believers and followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, striving to live a Holy life!
I've searched the Holy Scriptures and there's no so called sinners prayer. Why is it still being taught?
