Now before you annoying smart-asses leave your snide remarks, keep in mind this question is directed toward people who do, in fact, pray for other people's salvation. If you don't pray for other people's salvation, the move on. This question is not addressed to you.
To the rest of you, let me explain why I'm asking this question. Most people believe that our decision to embrace the gospel is a free will decision. If it's not by our own free will, then it's not genuine. I often hear people say that love that isn't freely chosen isn't really love at all.
With that being the case, why pray for somebody's salvation? Aren't you, in essence, asking God to DO something to CAUSE somebody to choose to embrace Christ? What do you expect God to do in answer to that prayer?
