My concern is that over-emphasizing the prayer has often (though unintentionally) obscured the primary instruments for laying hold of salvation: repentance and faith.” J.D Greerer explains it well – “It’s not the prayer that saves it’s the repentance and faith behind the prayer that lays hold of salvation. Jesus Christ alone has the power to save through faith. However, it is not the words in a prayer that save us.
