Dear Cheryl: In the last section of my paper: "YOU FOOLS! YOU HYPOCRITES! YOU SNAKES!" you will see the below heading followed by a long explanation as to when and how someone is actually saved:
A FEW FABLES AND DAMNABLE HERESIES IN TODAY’S CHURCH
[1] THE SINNER’S PRAYER: What seems on the surface to be a wonderful thing, is in reality a horrible deception in the Church. I have heard it said many times that just REPEATING the "Sinner’s Prayer" will save anyone.
I recently heard an altar call on international television wherein the pastor told those coming to the altar that "In just two minutes, many of you will be saved and destined for eternity in heaven." Two days ago I clicked on The Trinity Broadcasting Network airing a program on creationism hosted by a man with a doctor’s degree (which I did a check on and found his degree to be bogus). Anyway, he invited his audience to say a "sinner’s prayer" with him. I timed it—twenty seconds exactly. Do twenty-second prayers really save people? Or is the "sinner’s prayer" just one more giant deception of the Church?
God be with you,
