I'm really enjoying exploring your site. Downloading the videos to watch at home. (I don't have internet at home which is fairly inconvenient, have to surf at coffee shops, etc.) Amazing how many non-biblical practices people can think up, often while insisting that what they're doing is straight from the Bible. And the folks who think you only need to repent once. Goodness, I have to repent every day! As for praying the Sinner's Prayer...there's nothing like going through the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount and looking back on your day or week to bring you to your knees real quick. That brings me to repentance every time. Looking forward to viewing your videos later. Peace be with you, Dan. :) Another great post, Dan. I’m really enjoying exploring your site.

Was it real? Did I even understand what I was doing? Was I pressured into it? Is my inner conflict about "praying the prayer" as a child due to my doubts about having a genuine faith then, or simply tied to my discomfort with the whole contrived process of getting people to raise their hands? I still don't think I have clear answers when it comes to my own childhood, and having a simple answer as to when I became a Christian, and for a while it really bothered me. There just isn't pat answer however. There is now only a rather lengthy discussion that proceeds from asking such a question. A discussion that envelopes all that you touched on in your post. And, I suppose, that is what God prefers to have happen.....
