What is the Sinner’s Prayer? Is it in the Bible? If not, why is this believed to exist? If so, where is it in the Scriptures? The Sinner’s Prayer There really isn’t a “sinner’s prayer” per say in the Bible. Just recognizing that we are all sinners should make us pray and acknowledge that we are. First John 1:8, 10 says “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we... Read more

Does the Bible mention “once saved, always saved?” Does the Bible teach this? If so, what do the Scriptures say about this? Eternal Security I do not like the term “once saved, always saved” because it may give a false sense of security for the person who is not saved.
