Because no such prayer or conversion is found in the Bible, some biblical scholars have even labeled the sinner’s prayer a “cataract of nonsense” and an “apostasy”.

Where in the Bible is the salvation prayer?
“Now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV). Salvation is a free gift from God our heavenly Father. God gives us salvation based on what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross. We accept and receive it by believing.
Can a sinner praise God?
A sinner cannot truly worship God because worship must be ‘in the spirit and in truth’ (John 4:23–24). A person must worship out of an understanding of truth of God as revealed through the Scriptures (John 16:14).
What does Jesus say about praying?
Jesus taught, “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.”
What do you pray when someone is dying?
Give them your strength as they care for Joe. God, we thank you that you never leave us, that you never forsake us, but you love us. We trust you, and pray this in your name. Amen.”
Why should we pray for lost?
God is already actively doing all He can do to bring the lost to saving faith, whether we pray for them or not. He loves them more than we ever could. That’s why He paid the ultimate sacrifice for them: He gave His life in exchange for theirs.
How do you accept God?
Seek forgiveness for your sins. Make Jesus Christ the center of your life and ask him to help you do his will each day. When you pray, believe in your heart that God has heard your prayer and pray that God’s will be done, not yours. God does not want you to continue to struggle with this.
Is the sinner’s prayer Biblical?
Based on Romans 10:9-10, yes, the sinner’s prayer is biblical. But you are not going to find the words “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible, that is just what people started calling the prayer of salvation. Now, I don’t want you to get hung up on whether the prayer is biblical or not.
Does God listen to sinners?
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
Does the Bible say you will not prosper if you sin?
No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Is there a sin that leads to death?
There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.
