Finding this annoying

More and more grace preachers are attacking the common "sinners prayer". Basically teaching that it overrides the finish work of what Jesus did on the cross. The bible teaches we are to repent and believe in order to be saved. They teach that when little children pray that Jesus come into their heart, that this is putting a condition on their salvation. While it is correct that we repent and believe...it is also true that repentance only takes place when we have changed our hearts. Romans 10:9-10. Also the heart is talked about some 150 times in the new testament. jesus often referred to the condition of one's heart.

Also these preachers need to go back and learn that repentance is not a act of works, but a heart felt changing of ones mind which happens when we first come to faith by believing.
