Canada, USA and UK are among nations that have added gender identity to its human rights act, you go to jail per se, for calling a person by the wrong gender assignment. What does that even mean in practice? The public needs clarity! We need to focus on function not labels. Toilets should be labelled: Toilets and given private cubicles for all users so that this nonsense of mistaken identity stops. Protect the privacy of each user not just some. Q A & Question: Ever since I can remember I have heard the unsaved who indicate an interest in serving God led to repeat a prayer called ‘the sinner’s prayer. Is there such a prescribed prayer in Scriptures? If so, where could I find it? Oh, one other thing. After repeating this prescribed ‘sinner’s prayer’ they tell the person they are now saved. Is that true, does repeating this prayer make a person saved? Answer: This question has two parts so before we proceed let’s define them clearly. 1. Is there a biblical template for ‘the sinner’s prayer’? 2. Is repeating ‘the sinner’s prayer’ the step into salvation? The hidden curriculum of the politically correct The dissemination of this view on the society is rife; school is no longer a place of learning by questioning and free thinking but one of Indoctrination producing drones who all tow the line of propaganda. To disagree is to be labelled a bigot or hateful. Ideological subversion can only be rectified by faith in The Truth, cling trustingly to the truth. That which has been tried, proven and tested over the eons of time. “In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell Pray earnestly for God given priorities and choose today to live by Biblical values. p Angela Slack Editor and Co-founder You have questions we’ve got answers there a biblical template Question: Is for ‘the sinner’s prayer’? evangelists can boast of their success. Some of these people are saved and will go on to manifest the signs but a great many others aren’t. The Scripture passage in Romans that is used to justify the so called ‘sinner’s prayer’ says, “...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 From this the ‘sinner’s prayer’ was constructed. Those who indicate their interest to be saved were therefore told to repeat the following, “Lord I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, Amen.” Or something similar. of Christ and the power that God exercised when He raised Him from the dead. The Holy Spirit does this when the true gospel is preached. As someone who has found love cannot help but tell friends similarly someone to whom the Lordship of Christ is revealed cannot help speaking about it. Do we need to tell a drowning person what to say to raise an alarm? Similarly we do not need to tell a person who has been truly impacted by the gospel and has met Christ what they need to say. Continue reading and you will notice that the Scripture says, “...whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 Notice God chose to use the word ‘call’. To call is to: say something in a loud voice, especially in order to attract someone’s attention. The one who is impacted by the gospel is liken to a drowning person because they have discovered that they are being pulled down to their death by their sins. As a drowning person calls for help so this sinner calls on God the only one who can save them. The answer to both questions is ‘no’. Scripture does not outline a sinner’s prayer and repeating such a prescribed prayer is not the indication that someone has passed from death The man made ‘sinner’s prayer’ differs fro m what Scripture says in into life. that one is dictated while the other Scripture does tell us what the signs flows naturally and spontaneously of salvation are and what people from the heart. The Scripture speaks who are saved will do. Repeating a of a confession that is an overflow prescribed prayer is not one. The from a heart that is full of a new found sinner’s prayer is a human construct faith in Jesus. This faith is explosive If meeting Christ and being born designed to hustle great numbers in nature. It is powered by the Holy again of His Spirit wasn’t powerful of people into the Kingdom so Spirit‘s revelation of the Lordship enough to activate Continued on pg 32 January - March 2018 SHARE | MAGAZINE | 5
