The Inoculation Sinner’s Prayer

Sinner’s Prayer • Problems with this Prayer • You don’t pray to Jesus, but to the Father in His name • There are several versions of the prayer • It is not found in wording or principle anywhere in the Bible • It ignores man’s part in the covenant

The Living Bible “Even in His own land and among His own people, the Jews, He was not accepted. Only a few welcomed and received Him. But to all who received Him, He gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was trust him to save them. All those who believe this are reborn! - not a physical rebirth resulting from human passion or plan – but from the will of God -John 1:11-13 Living Bible

The Inoculation • Immunity comes from confidence in a some truth • Salvation by Faith is not “faith in your salvation” • Believing the Word of the Gospel saves you • The Covenant II requires obedience • “Sinners prayer” did not come from God • The Gospel is from God, • “Obeying the Gospel” saves you
