<P> The Sinner's Prayer (also called the Consecration Prayer and Salvation Prayer) is an evangelical Christian term referring to any prayer of repentance, prayed by individuals who feel convicted of the presence of sin in their lives and have the desire to form or renew a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ . It is a popular phenomenon in evangelical circles . It is not intended as liturgical like a creed or a confiteor, but rather, is intended to be an act of initial conversion to Christianity . While some Christians see reciting the sinner's prayer as the moment defining one's salvation, others see it as a beginning step of one's lifelong faith journey . </P> <P> It also may be prayed as an act of "re-commitment" for those who are already believers in the faith . Often, at the end of a worship service, in what is known as an altar call, a minister or other worship leader will invite those desiring to receive Christ (thus becoming born again) to repeat with him or her the words of some form of a sinner's prayer . It also is frequently found on printed gospel tracts, urging people to "repeat these words from the bottom of your heart". </P>
