Guys,
Just a quick note.  I noticed while preaching on the Lord's dealings
with the penitent thief on the cross that all the thief said was
"remember me when  you come into your kingdom".  That must have
enveloped all that is needed for a "sinner's prayer".  I think sometimes
we want to make Paul's teaching in the Epistles some kind of format for
doing or being in God's will and that they are some kind of sides of a
box that must be stayed within.  
Sorry I don't have time to elaborate - I too am one who can only respond
every now and then.  I don't have the time to get involved in some of
the forum debates the way I would like.

are sinners?
