1 | Where did the "Sinners Prayer" come from | Rom 10:13 | acts1126 | 184672 | ||
Where did the "Sinners Prayer" come from? I was talking to a friend yesterday and he told me that I John 1:9 supports the sinners prayer. My only concern abou that is that John wrote that passage to those who were already christians. Im confused about this. | ||||||
2 | Where did the "Sinners Prayer" come from | Rom 10:13 | Searcher56 | 184673 | ||
God's day to you, acts1126, I agree the "Sinners Prayer" isn't in 1 John 1:9. Romans 10:9-16 is a passage I love, I think verse 10 is one of the possible verses you are looking for. Searcher |

3 | Rom 10:9-10 ??? | Rom 10:13 | acts1126 | 184683 | ||
I still don't see how ROMANS 10:9-10 constitutes a prayer for salvation. How does JOHN 9:31 and ISAIAH 59:1-2 relate to this topic? | ||||||
4 | Rom 10:9-10 ??? | Rom 10:13 | Morant61 | 184685 | ||
Greetings Acts1126! Rom. 10:9-10 constitutes a prayer for salvation in that 'calling on the Name of the Lord' is a prayer. :-) As for the two verses you cite, John 9:31 is that statement of a pharisee, not a teaching of God; while Is. 59:1-2 deals specifically with the relationship between God and Israel, and even then, this situation was not permanent. The "Sinner's Prayer" is not found as such in Scripture, but it is a compilation of many Biblical concepts. The closest parallel to it is found in Luke 18:13, ‘‘But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 ‘‘I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Here we have a clear example of someone praying a 'sinner's prayer' and Jesus saying that he went home justified.
