1 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | John 1:12 | Morant61 | 172397 | ||
Greetings Mark! Well said my friend! I have always wondered if someone used the 'wrong' words in a prayer and asked Jesus into their heart, would God refuse to hear that prayer and insist that they get their terminology straight first. ;-) Excellent example from Luke 18:13 as well. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | John 1:12 | DocTrinsograce | 172400 | ||
Dear Tim, The problem is not with someone using "the wrong words." :-) He he! :-) The problem is giving anyone the idea that speaking the words -- or saying a prayer, or walking down an aisle, or joining a church, or making a decision, etc. etc. -- actually accomplishes anything in regard to the eternal destiny of their soul (like the Pharisee in Luke 18:11-12). Our only hope is in the substitutionary atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. (For our justification is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in the Scriptures alone, to the glory of God alone.) Our inability is met by God's divine provision. "God be merciful, on me a sinner!" So simply put, but entailing a wonderful special revelation. Of course, I know I'm "preaching to the choir" here. :-) In Him, Doc |

Greetings Doc! The article that you cited seemed to make much of the 'form' of the prayer as well. Obviously, nothing that we do saves us, but God's grace is accessed through prayer. Rom. 10:13 tells us - "for, ‘‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”" So, however someone calls on the Lord, I believe that God will answer the truly repentant cry of the lost. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
