What problems can arise from the sinner's prayer?

What can be a problem with the sinner's prayer?
Ray Comfort 0:02
The gospel's been twisted to God has a wonderful plan for your life. You want to experience the wonderful plan that God has? Just say this prayer and give your heart to Jesus. It's not biblical. And we think we can lead people to God and have them repeat a prayer of repentance. It's not in Scripture. Christianity doesn't offer, as someone said, a smooth flight, but it offers a safe landing. Most people don't know what good is. They say, I'm a good person. No, no, no.

How has modern evangelism distorted the gospel message?

Ray Comfort 0:28
You need the moral law to show you're not. Think you've kept the Ten Commandments? Oh, yeah. How many lies have you told? Oh, lots. Ever stolen something? Yeah, just little things. Ever used God's name in vain? They say, yeah, it's a bad habit. Shouldn't do it. Jesus said, if you look with lust, you've committed adultery in the heart. Ever done that? And every guy says that. Absolutely. All the time. By your own admission, you've just told me you're a lying, thieving, blasphemous adulterer at heart. And you have to face God on Judgment Day. Can I be innocent or guilty? And they say, guilty. The sinner has been shown that he's unclean in the eyes of God and he needs God's mercy. And that's when the cross will make sense.
Alex Clark 1:22
Today's episode goes straight into the most controversial conversations in Christianity. Repentance, false conversions, the sinner's prayer, eternal judgment, and whether belief alone actually saves. I'm joined by the legendary Ray Comfort, one of the most well-known street evangelists in the world, and his little dog, too. Best-selling author, co-host of Way of the Master, and founder of Living Waters. Ray has spent decades training everyday Christians how to share the gospel biblically, boldly, and effectively. And today he's breaking down where the church has gone wrong, why modern evangelism often fails, and what real gospel clarity actually looks like. We're talking about how to evangelize as a busy mom, how to start conversations with unbelievers and spiritual but not religious people, and why skipping sin, repentance, and God's holiness doesn't make the message more loving, it makes it incomplete.

How bad have Christians gotten at evangelizing?
Ray Comfort 2:39
Well, they just haven't got good. It's been left in the dust. That's the problem. Very few Christians evangelize. I ask congregations, how many of you have witnessed verbally, not with your life, but verbally, with your mouth, to more than a dozen people in the last year? It's usually only about 10%. And we've moved so far away from the book of Acts, it's not funny. The disciples didn't stay in the upper room, put a little notice out the front saying, tonight, seven o'clock, all welcome. They went open air because God had granted eternal life to humanity. And so they said, we cannot but speak that which we've seen and heard. And peril of their lives, they went out and preached the gospel to every creature as they were commanded to do by Jesus.
Alex Clark 3:19
Are you finding that the most used excuses from Christians on why they're not evangelizing more is because they don't feel confident in how to do it? Is it because they're embarrassed and don't want to offend?
Ray Comfort 3:29
All the above. All of it. Yeah, we have problems with fear. That's the problem, fear. But there are certain things we can do to take Goliath down to Zacchaeus. And I handle my fears this way. If a firefighter looks at a building, fifth story, sees a mother and two children screaming for help. It's on fire, wooden building. They're going to be dead. burned alive within five minutes. He looks at a 60-foot ladder that he has to climb amidst the smoke, amidst the sirens, amidst the screaming and the heat, and having to reach out 60 feet up and take two children.
