Where In The Bible Will I Find:

Mourner's Bench System of Salvation? 

The divine plan of salvation is offered to "all the world" and "every nation" (Mark 16:15). The mourner's bench implies that God is unwilling to save all who come to Him, making God a respecter of persons, but the Bible says, "...there is no respect of persons with God" (Rom. 2:11), and Peter declares, "The Lord ... not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (II Peter 3:9). 

No scripture anywhere teaches, suggests, intimates, or implies that God has required the alien sinner to pray for the pardon of his sins. In fact, the Bible plainly teaches that "God hears not the prayers of sinners" (John 9:31). Saul of Tarsus, before he was told what to do to be saved, was in Damascus fasting and praying, but he was not told to pray, he was told by the gospel preacher to "...arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" (Acts 22:16). The mourner's bench disregards the fact that it is useless to call upon the Lord without obeying Him. 

Jesus asked, "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6: 46). No inspired gospel preacher ever urged an alien sinner to pray his sins away at a mourner's bench. But all GOSPEL PREACHERS tell alien sinners to do what the Bible says, as on Pentecost where some three thousand were saved (Acts 2), but there is no record of a single prayer being uttered by any sinner. The procedure was simple, the gospel was preached (vs. 14‑37), the hearers were exhorted to believe that Jesus is "both Lord and Christ" (vs. 36), and they were commanded to repent and be baptized for the remission of their sins (v. 38).  

Those who did so were saved, and added by the Lord to HIS CHURCH (v. 47). The mourner's bench does not comply with God's plan of salvation, it is rather "man's" system conceived as a substitute for God's divinely revealed will for the sinner. God requires the alien sinner to believe in Jesus, repent of their sins, and be baptized in water for the remission of sins. Any system that does not incorporate these divine requirements is not of God but of men. The mourner's bench is of men, therefore, it has no part in God's plan of salvation.
