If someone asked you that question but said they didn't know how to how would you respond, how would you lead them?
Given the following
Romans 10:9-13
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. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
In the church the sinners prayer says something along the lines of "I know I'm a sinner and I confess that"
Yet if you read when Jesus said that he had to go back to heaven because the Holy Spirit must come to convict the world of its sin, that sin being unbelief in him.
Can anyone lead me to bible verses that say you have to say I'm sorry for my sins in order to become a Christian. When I say sins I mean works of the flesh and not unbelief in Jesus.
I want to put aside the following
1 John 1:9-10
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
Not because I think it's wrong, to me it's more relational with God. If I sinned now and died 30s later before confession I'm still think I'm forgiven.
So your sat with someone who asks the question that I have mentioned above.
How would you lead them?
