Confessing Christ

It seems there are plenty of Calvinists that feel no obligation to pray around the forum.

Any Arminians that feel like they were saved when they believed?

I've heard Arminians say this most of my life. That confession is a secondary means.

We I got saved, I knew that God would save me if I would simply confess Him and ask Him to. However, it never happened until I confessed and repented (last step) in salvation.

Sounds suspiciously like Lordship Salvation.

Nope. Never believed it. Never taught it.

I have known many Calvinists and Arminians in my life. Many of them will just show up in Christian fellowship one day without any context of their conversion. A famous Calvinist named Edwards spoke often of how men are self delusioned on the subject.

Johnathan Edwards? The man who led one of the most successful revivals in history?

So you didn't pray at all? Just hollered?

I asked a specific question. Why is it hard for you to answer it?

I didn't have my hands raised. I was broken and asking God to forgive me and save me.

Luk 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luk 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

I'll let you read verse 14 for yourself.

Prayed about what the moment I got saved? Not long after I got saved I prayed for lost family members before sharing the gospel with them.

What gospel? The one that tell themselves they can't get saved any time they want to get saved?

That is a damnable false gospel. Many people join their own "gospel country clubs" where they pay their dues and promote one another at the expense of the poor and needy.

Lordship salvation is biblical since Jesus is Lord and our Master. There is the biblical Lordship and the unbiblical one. :)

And I know with you I’m preaching to the choir.

I did not say anything about not praying at all and I was broken when I came to Christ. My conversion experience lines up with the publican and not the Pharisee.

The gospel which is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) which is the power of God unto salvation for everyone that believes..(Romans 1:16) Not the gospel country club.

You clearly preach that anyone can NOT get saved anytime they desire to. That is a false gospel.

Did you pray? I asked a clear question. You have yet to clearly answer.

It is rather obviously you believe God saved you before you did anything yourself.
