At the time, this article carries the implication that the Sinner's Prayer is something that is not exclusively Christian. While the concept of sin is common to many faiths, I'm not aware of this unique method of repentance found outside of Protestantism — if for no other reason that its unique concept of atonement. I'm going to take a shot at correcting that, but if I'm mistaken, please correct me. |

The first sentence says "who feel convicted of the presence of sin in their lives." What does "convicted" mean in this context? Does it mean "convicted" in the sense of "found guilty after a trial," or is this some different meaning of the word, perhaps unique to evangelicals? In either case, it would seem to call for some explanation. |

Usage outside of Christianity
[edit]At the time, this article carries the implication that the Sinner's Prayer is something that is not exclusively Christian. While the concept of sin is common to many faiths, I'm not aware of this unique method of repentance found outside of Protestantism — if for no other reason that its unique concept of atonement. I'm going to take a shot at correcting that, but if I'm mistaken, please correct me.
Also, Kainaw, thanks for thinking to create this article after seeing the question at the Ref Desk. Well done. Tijuana Brass¡Épa!-E@ 06:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- To my knowledge, the Sinner's Prayer is only used in religions where a person must "be saved" - the religions where one is baptised by request, not at birth. But, I did not want to limit the article and have someone come right behind me and state that some Buddhist religion also has a Sinner's Prayer. --Kainaw (talk) 13:13, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Terminology
[edit]The first sentence says "who feel convicted of the presence of sin in their lives." What does "convicted" mean in this context? Does it mean "convicted" in the sense of "found guilty after a trial," or is this some different meaning of the word, perhaps unique to evangelicals? In either case, it would seem to call for some explanation. A sin that Jesus will not forgive you for is not even existing all you have to do is ask Jesus for forgivness and repent for your sins god will forgive you "My sin was great your love was greater" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:F930:FFF0:A88B:E38F:1481:B755 (talk) 02:04, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
