Hi:

I say the sinners prayer based on Luke 18:10-14.

             "Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publican. 
                  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I
thank thee, that I am not as other men are,  unjust                      
                        extortioners, adulterers,or even as this
publican.
                I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess.
                And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so
much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
        merciful to me a sinner.
                I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be
abased; and he that         humbleth himself shall be exalted."

Logic tells us that we all are sinners, as Jesus came to save sinners. 1
Timothy 1:15.

                "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of
whom I am chief."

Trust this answers your question.

Because of Calvary, yours,

Jesus loves you, and I do too
