Where is the Sinners Prayer (Part 5)

I have been writing in the last several months on this subject: Where is the sinners prayer in the bible?

I have endeavored to keep this in order and have not posted anything else in order to do this. To me this is one of the most misappropriated, misaligned scripture in the bible.

The scripture of where that much of the “believers” have taken this belief for salvation and based it upon this scripture of Romans 10:9-10.

This is perhaps my last post on this, seeing that I have hopefully explained this in enough detail through the scriptures on this particular passage of scripture. Even though I could say more. As it is sometimes I think my posts are to long. I am sure there are those who are agreeing with this. Yet, for perhaps the last time.

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.    KJV

See what follows in the next two verses.

Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.    KJV

It matters not in this church age whether your Jew or Greek. The reason is that they are (CONFESSING) or saying the same thing.

* There was one church.

* They were in unity; in agreement to the one thing that held them together.

* They all confessed the same thing.

So we see the church as it was meant to be seen. The church Paul was letting all know to get in the church was the common theme of all saying the same thing.

Except a man be born again of water and spirit. This was Paul agreeing by saying the same thing.

Baptism and receiving the Spirit of GOD, was both Jew and Greek saying the same thing. This can be seen because they had all received the same. (SEE ACTS 2 AND PAUL’S PREACHING TO DISCIPLES OF JOHN IN ACTS 19:1-6) All were saying the same thing because they all received the same Jesus. And all received Christ the same way. So, how could they not BUT SPEAK THE SAME THING?

This is seen in Jesus’ day as to what it looked like to believe and to confess Jesus.

John 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

This word (CONFESS) is the same word as Romans 10 and nine. Look at this closely. They all believed on him. That is on Jesus. Is that not this day in which we are living? That is the so-called sinners prayer. The word, “come, or have you accepted Jesus as your personal savior?” This is the meaning of how many see this.

Yet, nowhere in the bible do we see this SO-CALLED SINNER’S PRAYER. So, we have this great deception. This great lie. Because much of the “church world” has propagated this error.

Many believed on Jesus. Were they saved? They believed on Jesus. The answer is plain. How could they be? They did not CONFESS HIM. Meaning they did not (SPEAK THE SAME THING.)

To think that they could “BELIEVE ON JESUS” but they “WOULD NOT CONFESS HIM.” Thus we see the difference between believing on JESUS AND CONFESSING HIM. (SAYING THE SAME THING.)

Ask the question. Why? And the word of GOD tells us that as well.

43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.     KJV

Is that not the false teachers and preachers today? I ask, and it is for you dear reader to answer. If we are not saying the same thing as Jesus, as His apostles and their word. Then to what or who are we aligned with? Because to believe a lie is to be damned. To walk in delusion is to be lost. It was deception that removed Adam and Eve from the garden of GOD. Can it be said that the consequences are different? Can you see that to be in disagreement with the word of GOD is to be saying the same thing. Its just not saying the same thing as the one who matters.

Read it this way in replacing (CONFESS WITH BELIEVE.)

John 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not (BELIEVE)confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:     KJV

This doesn’t even make any sense. This is because this word (CONFESS) is not to publicly acknowledge but means to (SPEAK THE SAME THING.)

DID THEY BELIEVE ON JESUS? YES.

DID THEY CONFESS HIM? NO.

JOHN OPENS OUR UNDERSTANDING EVEN GREATER…

1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.    KJV

It is here again that we see (CONFESSETH) both times and again its GREEK meaning is not to publicly acknowledge. IT IS TO SAY THE SAME THING. Note the next verse that follows.

1 John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.  KJV

THEY ARE OF THE WORLD; THEREFORE THEY SPEAK OF THE WORLD. NOTE TO WHERE THEIR UNITY LIES. SEE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WHO THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH. THE WORLD. THEY ARE CONFESSING. THEY ARE SPEAKING THE SAME THING BUT ONLY WITH THE WORLD.

The question is. Are we speaking the same thing as Jesus has given us to speak? Are we in agreement (SAYING THE SAME THING) as Peter who received the keys to the kingdom? Are we preaching the same message that Phillip preached to the Samaritans of Acts 8 and the Ethiopian of Acts 8?

Phillip asked him. Understand what thou readest? And Phillip preached unto him, Jesus and the word was. See here is water. What doth hinder me from being baptized? The same message repeated, reiterated through out the book of Acts the place of the birth of the church.

CAN WE NOT BUT PREACH, BELIEVE AND CONFESS (SAY THE SAME THING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SPOKEN BY THE PROPHETS? THE APOSTLES? JOHN THE BAPTIST? BY JESUS HIMSELF?)
TO CONFESS… TO SAY THE SAME THING… THE SAME THAT WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED OF GOD…

To not speak the same thing as the apostles, and Jesus Christ is to be building upon another foundation. This means that this Is to find oneself not saying the SAME THING.

In David Michael Bennett’s book, The Sinners Prayer: Its Origins And Dangers. On page 28 I quote… “It is deeply disturbing that there are probably millions of people in this world who have been assured by well-meaning evangelist that they are saved when, in fact, they are not.” “In other words, there are many who have been told they are going to heaven, when they may still be going to hell. He went on to say and I quote this is the bad fruit of the sinners prayer.”

The lies of humanity in what they are really believing. The smoke and mirrors concept… It’s the light show, the programs, philosophy of men. The lies and deception on a grand scale.

Much of what we are seeing is the failure of being able to duplicate the “book of Acts church,” I find that this is what Paul is saying. THEREFORE MANY HAVE NOT CONFESSED HIM. THERE BE MANY THAT ARE NOT SPEAKING THE SAME THING THAT HIS WORD HAS SPOKEN SO LONG AGO.  

THE REMEDY AS GIVEN BY PAUL. THIS IS SAYING THE SAME THING THEY HAVE ALREADY SAID.

Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.    KJV

This concludes my series on this subject. I know its been awhile since I have posted. I hope to get back into it. Please continue to follow and read. And thank you for reading.

BLESSINGS.
