Sir, I'm surprised that you agree with me on this point. Yes, the "sinner's prayer" is not biblical and is very dissimilar to the biblical model of conversion. I don't know why you'd be surprised. No man's salvation rests in his recitation of the sinner's prayer nor even in his own "acceptance" of Jesus, but salvation rests on the grace and mercy of God almighty alone. Wow! Talk about hyper-Calvinism. Now the efficacious call does not even require a response of some sort. Let's take it a step further; why should God bother to call at all when He can just breeze them into heaven? That's not quite what I said, is it? The response comes as a result of regeneration, and not unto regeneration, which is what Billy Graham and other Arminians preach. The moment you are born again, you believe and are justified. Thus, salvation rests on God's grace alone, not on your response, although the response is infallibly a part of being saved.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
