Prayer of Salvation
Father,
    I believe that you sent your Son Jesus Christ to die for my sins.  I believe He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, was crucified, buried and rose on the third day. Jesus forgive me of my sins, cleanse me of all unrighteousness.  Be my Lord and savior and fill me with Your Holy Spirit and Power. Thank you Lord.  
In Jesus Name I pray, Amen
