***It is the quiet acceptance in one’s heart of Jesus into the contrite heart and the fervent prayer that God will save me, a sinner. It is not a one time event; it is a process in one must persevere for their entire life.
****************

Beautifully said.***

Jesus is not a rock star; the acceptance of Jesus comes where He instructed us to pray. Matthew 6:
1
1 “(But) take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
2
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites 2 do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
3
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
4
so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
5
“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
6
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me a sinner.

That is it in the nut shell!!!!

Anybody that prays that prayer from their heart will be saved!

That is basically the prayer that you will be asked to pray if you call the 700 Club or 100 Huntley Street etc.

That is a prayer of salvation!
