Subject: How to "Call on the name of the Lord"? |
Bible Note: The example prayer IS a good prayer, but I just can't think of any place in scripture where anyone prayed to be born again or become a child fo God. The book of Acts is kind of the "book of conversions", in it we have lots of examples of people becoming Christians - am I missing an occasion where someone "called on the name of the Lord" by praying? I know if sounds like I am nit-picking, but after all, Jesus said "Not everyone who says to Me "Lord, Lord...." (MAT 7) I think it is importatnt that we call on the name of the Lord His way an not our own way. |
