Say a prayer, "speak
Exact words(?)", write it down, and save it to "be saved"?
Precious friend(s), I would say: Hardly; my second wife asked me after we
got married: "Did my prayer save me"?: my
Biblical answer: No!
Because:
"What Saith The Scripture?" about "What Must I do to Be Saved?",
Today, Under God's Grace!:
God's
Responsibility:
"But God Commendeth His Love Toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners,
Christ Died For us..." (Romans 5:8 AV)
"Being Justified Freely By His Grace Through The
Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:24 AV)
God's and man's
responsibility:
"For By Grace Are ye Saved Through faith; and that Not of yourselves:
it is The Gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. "
(Ephesians 2:8-9 AV)
man's
responsibility:
"Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ, and thou Shalt Be Saved!..."
(Acts 16:31 AV)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the
Dead, thou Shalt Be Saved." (Romans 10:9 AV)
"Therefore we conclude that a man Is Justified by
faith without the deeds of the law." (Romans 3:28 AV)
"That we should be to The Praise Of His Glory, who first trusted
in Christ. In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard The Word
Of Truth, The Gospel of your Salvation:
In Whom also after that ye believed, ye were Sealed with That
Holy Spirit of Promise, Which Is The Earnest of our inheritance
until The Redemption of the Purchased possession, unto the
Praise Of His Glory. " (Ephesians 1:12-14 AV)
After receiving
God's Free Gift Of Eternal Salvation,
learn:
Therefore Being Justified by faith, we have Peace With God
Through our Lord Jesus Christ: By Whom also we have access
by faith Into This Grace Wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope
of The Glory of God." (Romans 5:1-2 AV)
+
"...Much more then, being now Justified By His
BLOOD, we
Shall Be Saved From wrath Through Him. For if, when we
were enemies, we Were Reconciled To God By The
Death
Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, we Shall Be Saved
By His Life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, By Whom we have now received The
Hence, believing, trusting, and placing
100% faith In God's
Gospel Of Grace! Given to Paul,
for us:
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that
Christ Died for our sins according to The Scriptures;
And that He was buried, and that He Rose again the third day
according to The Scriptures: " (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 AV)
Thus, there is no asking/speaking,
but:
First,
belief, trust, and faith with "ALL your heart" allows God "To Save you
!"
Then, after that, it would be the Right Time "
to pray and Give
Thanks Unto God," eh?

Follow-up with
Confusing 'water' baptism? No,
learn Scriptural Truth
first, and then "make your own decision" not on what
multitudes of
Confused denominations say,
But Based On The Truth God Says:
There is NO
water Today, Under Grace =
Only One [ Spiritual ] Baptism!
For God's Glory,
bears Repeating:
One [ Unifying ] Baptism Cancels All
Confusion!
Amen.
