Actually this is a good question. When dealing with someone biblically while talking about God it is always a great thing to use scriptures. Reading Christiana's post really triggered this with me.

So, should we not tell people to 'repent and bow before God, asking for His mercy'?
Knowing the best words to use in such circumstances would certainly be most helpful!

There are no verses that say "ask Jesus into your heart".
But we do see verses that tell us to repent. To turn from sin and run to righteousness. Things of that nature.
The problem with me is that not everything sticks to memory. If someone could help me out and point out similar key verses I would be ever grateful!
Basically (to further expound on my thoughts) I see that there is that zone where people seem to get certain things but dont know what to do next. Usually based on their lack of knowledge of scripture. I think additional verses would be key.
(sorry if this doesnt make sense. I sometimes have a hard time wording what i am thinking. Even after taking time)
