So what is the Biblical problem with leading others in prayer and teaching them how to pray for salvation, in the manner of the following:


"Lord,

I want to be saved. Grant me true faith and true repentance so that I might beleive in you and be saved. Grant me understanding of who you are and keep me from my sins. Give me a new heart and change the course of my life..."


And then telling them further truths about prayer and encouraging them to pray themseles to God.

Note that this does not give them assurance THAT they are ALREADY saved. But if one prays and seeks the Lord with their whole heart, then there is an assurance that they will be saved.




What's that have to do with immersion?
