Good word. Who are children of God? Those who prayed a prayer, or those who obey the Spirit?

Romans 8:14
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

1 John 3:10
By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

1 John 5:2
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

Lawrence,

The link I provide above cites evidence. Stay tuned for a review of that book.

I found another good link with history on the subject. Click here. That article also points to Sunday as one who utilized this method.

Lawrence,

While I am sure his motives are pure, I do believe Billy Sunday did much to propogate the use of a sinner’s prayer.

This book also makes the same contention.

Blessings,

Bob, you are right on with this series! I have serious problems with a call for “anyone in the audience who wants to be saved to repeat this prayer after me.” I personally had never felt comfortable with it, but over the past couple years have come to the conviction that it is wrong! A prayer of confessing present faith in Christ might be a good thing, but praying a prayer TO BE saved is unbiblical!

I can’t wait to read more, and I am definitely interested in this book, especially if I can get a free copy. Don’t you think you should give it to the person who had the 2000th comment?
