You ask me to show you from scripture where anyone "prayed to receive Christ." Let me ask you this. Where in the Bible does it specifically say we are not to use musical instruments in worship? Not that there is anything wrong with not using musical instruments (I personally actually prefer a capella music in Church myself). And that's really not even the point of me bringing it up. My point is that there are some things in which the Bible does not give a specific example on, but we draw conclusions based on our conscious or from other scriptures we have read. As the music example would state, you guys do it, too. You say that to be saved, a person must basically repent, confessed, and be baptised. Prayer is simply an affirmation to God that we have accepted these truths. When we say "praying to receive Christ", that is simply telling God "I accept your gift." Also, doesn't the Bible teach that we should confess our sins in order to be forgiven (I John 1:9)?
