Have you ever said a sinner's prayer before coming home to the Church?

I remember doing the "accepting Jesus" thing as a methodist.

Pretty weird when you think about it.

It never worked for me.

I'd say it, be "saved" and then I'd screw up, leading me to believe I wasn't saved, so I'd say it again...

What is the sinner's prayer? [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/think_head.gif[/img] I've never heard of it...

I guess I'm naive...hehe

Voted that I've prayed Sinner's Prayer, but no longer identify as an Evangelical.

FWIW, the Sinner's Prayer and Baptism in the Spirit are two different prayers/actions. Sinner's Prayer is common to most Evangelicals and Fundamentalists (roughly equivalent to our Act of Contrition or Prayer for Spiritual Communion) while Baptism in the Spirit is a prayer for spiritual/charismatic gifts. There is some overlap as far as some Christians who believe in both, but they aren't the same thing.

Just noticed lookforfaith's question :) [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinner's_prayer"]Wikipedia[/url] has a good example and explanation of it.
