One of the most celebrated man-made doctrines today in Christendom is the so-called sinners prayer. If you have adopted this practice, are thinking about it to invite Jesus into your heart, we encourage you to first hear and read along with these lessons coming strictly from scripture.
Luke 18:9-13 & Revelation 3:20 are often used as a "proof texts" by denominational teachers and preachers to buffer their application that all one has to do is pray Jesus into their heart for salvation. This lesson addresses this false doctrine in plain and clearly understandable language in proper biblical context.
The bible student must always remember - "The entirety of your Word is Truth" (Psalm 119:160). And, "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matt 4:4). In other words, God doesn't always reveal the full and complete truth on a subject in one scripture text or context. One must read and understand ALL (sum total) that God has to say about a subject over many scriptures in order to understand the whole truth He is communicating in His Word.
Blessings to you...
