Question: where is the sinner's prayer located in the bible

title: Sinner's prayer
text: Another criticism of the Sinner 's Prayer is that passages used to support it actually are not about the lost repeating a prayer in order to become Christians . The Sinner 's Prayer is often employed in conjunction with Revelation 3 : 20 and Romans 10 : 9 - 10 , 13 . Revelation 3 : 20 is employed to teach that Christ is knocking at the door of one 's heart , and when a lost person asks Him to come inside , Jesus comes into the sinner 's heart . Romans 10 : 9 - 10 , 13 are employed to affirm that one must confess with his mouth , that is , say the sinner 's prayer , in order to become a Christian . However , the Baptist Greek professor Thomas Ross argues that Revelation 3 : 20 is about members of a church turning to the Lord , not about Christ entering into the heart of the lost . He provides 14 reasons that Revelation 3 : 20 is not about the lost asking Jesus into their hearts to become saved . He similarly argues that Romans 10 : 9 - 14 refers to Christians confessing Christ publicly before men and manifesting a life of prayer , rather than to the lost becoming saved by a one - time repetition of the Sinner 's Prayer .
