overconfident soulwinners who teach others to continue making the same
mistake.
If you've explained salvation correctly and the person understands and
believes what you've said, he won't have to be given a "script."
John 4:10 "Jesus answered and said unto her,
If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me
to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given
thee living water."
If a person is saved, he better know it's "because I called upon the Lord Jesus
to save me like the Bible said," and NOT "because I said what that guy told
me to say."
Make sure they pray directly to the Lord Jesus Christ (not simply "God" or
the Father), so there's no confusion about who they're trusting to save them.
John 14:6 "Jesus saith... no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Ephesians 1:12-13 "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who
first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the
word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"
When explaining indirectly what to pray for, keep it SIMPLE. Don't give
them a long list of things to pray for like "Ask Jesus to come into your heart
and become your personal Savior and forgive you of your sins and fill you
with the Spirit and make you a new creature and make you blameless at the
judgment and take you to heaven when you die and..." If you do that, they
will take it as sort of a "code" that they need to repeat verbatim, and they'll
struggle to memorize it, not understanding "the simplicity that is in
Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:3) And some who were never sincere to start
with will use your verbiage to compose a convincing FAKE confession of
faith just to get rid of you.)
