I can not find the sinners prayer anywhere in the bible. I do not put my faith in a prayer that is not my own words. If all it took was what someone else told you to say from words out of their heart, everyone would be saved. God wants to know if you will surrender your life to him. He wants you to tell Him from your heart how you feel. You have to live for God no matter what the cost. Do not be fooled Christians will suffer for the sake of Christ. I will gladly suffer for my Lord and my God. Will you! Jesus has to be you lord along with your God.

As long as a sinners prayer is said from the heart with committment, then it is fine to be used. However, it is not the prayer itself but whethe or not a person is paying lip-service, rather than praying that prayer from the heart. Saying a prayer and going through the motions do not make a person a Christian, it is by grace, through faith, and committment.
I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me has been made known
Or why unworthy as I am
He claimed me for His own.
But I know whom I have believed
And my persuaded, that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day.

The sinners prayer is just a simple prayer made up to help get people started. Most people dont know how to pray. Often times people think it is just saying the prayer that gets you saved but that is wrong.
Repeating a prayer means nothing if your heart is not in it. There is a scripture that speaks about how we can praise in tongues of men and angels but if we have not love we are just a clanging cymbal or a noisy gong, an empty sound. Prayer is just empty words iff there is no passion and sincerity behind it.
And as far as the faith in prayer thing, our faith is the evidence that God already is fulfilling our prayer, it is the absolute knowledge that God is faithful and that he cannot lie He said ask and you shall recieve and whatever you ask standing in prayer believe that you HAVE RECIEVED it and it will be given.

Pray Is Works a Noble Work But Still...
Faith Is to be In God

I put my Faith in God to whom I pray and my prayers end in, "In Jesus name I pray, amen."

No, I don't, because there are no gods to pray to, not even yours.
Did you know that there is a difference between your beliefs and the objective truth?
Did you know that not knowing this makes christians seem incredibly unintelligent and narrow minded?
Did you know that your jesus is just a rehash of earlier, cooler gods?
