“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

Amen! I am a born again christian, in answer to your question... (by the way, to you other answerers, a question is not SPAM!! this person asked a QUESTION, that is not spam, get a dictionary.....) :) ha
however, though it was a lovely prayer, I feel I must inform you of some facts. God wants us to follow every commandment and step in order to be saved.
Hear
Believe
obey
-be baptized
Go to church
- have communion on the first day of the week as exemplified by the apostles
Live righteously
-following all His commandments in the Bible
Spread the gospel
Only then are you in God's grace, if you follow every step He has lined up for us to take. It takes everything together, not just prayer. But great job on trying to spread the Word, and your zeal. God bless you.

AMEN!
Here's an interesting quote from Mark Hall, from Casting Crowns
"I really feel a burden for the church," Hall says. "Right after somebody gets saved, right as they're starting to grow, they essentially have the wool pulled over their eyes that tells them that religion is what they have stepped into. 'Here are the laws that relate to this, here are the rules for this other thing, here's your discipleship notebook, here's you T-shirt and this is what you have to do.' And the feeling is that when you come to church; if you did fail at whatever, don't let anybody know it."
"So they show up acting like everything is fine and are surrounded by people who aren't fine, and that's what religion is. The world simply wants nothing to do with that. They want to see people that are real. It doesn't bother the world that we mess up, what bothers them is that we act like we don't,"

Y --- Are you a Christian? I sincerely doubt it. I strongly suspect that you, like all who profess to be Christians, merely practice their chosen religion, and ignore true Christian practices. Since by now, I suspect you're protesting my premise loudly and angrily, I'll explain what I'm talking about. A true Christian actively does those things every waking moment of his or her life that Jesus did. Love thy neighbor, bless those who spitefully use you, give all your earthly posessions to the poor. Heal the sick. Comfort the dying. Feed the poor. Have you ever given the shoes off your feet to someone who needed shoes? Have you ever given your last dollar to someone who was hungry? Have you ever taken a sick person, who could not afford it, to your doctor and paid for the visit out of your own pocket? Do you spend all of your time helping those less fortunate that you? Have you forsaken your earthly ways and posessions and dedicated your entire being to following and practice the teachings of Jesus, for that is the true meaning of being a Christian. Without actively practicing those things Jesus taught and did on a daily basis, all of the pious prayers, churches, crystal cathedrals, silken robes, and religious paraphenalia is nothing but pretentious, usless, window dressing. In the entire history of the world since Jesus gave his life on the cross for us, I can think of only three people who have devoted their entire lives as true Christians: Jesus himself, St. Francis of Assisi, and Mother Teresa.

Amen!
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
Even those that won't come to Him now...
Ro 14:11 - It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'"
Php 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

No. I don't need a savior or a "lord"...
I have a much different view of the Christ.
The Christ Consciousness to me is to embody the teachings of Yeshua. It is unconditional love, healing and forgiveness.
As with everything, it's a learning process. I'm working on it.

Ah, Jesus Chirst - the lesser known second cousin of the Lord.
Seriously, if you want to make a difference here, grab some tracts and get out on the street telling people what you believe. On Yahoo answers, nobody's going to take a blind bit of notice.
At least in the street people get a chance to tell you why you're wrong. And you get to stock up brownie points for the rapture, no? :)

No.
God, Jesus and especially the holy ghost are all a load of codswallop.

All you have to do is offer some sort of proof that a god exists. If you can do that then you will be able to convert millions (or perhaps billions) of people. However, you can't do that. You have nothing that can be considered proof. Therefore, you should not be trying to convince other people that what you say is true.
