They can point back to the prayer and say "that's all I need to do."

It's all about the head--it's about what happens after your head gets on straight. :) I think the “fire insurance” is kinda like modern-day gnosticism.

Personally, I was never with anyone who shared the gospel with me, never prayed any prayer, I was just looking for Truth (in the right place) and when I got it, I was different. Everything's been different since. I know people don’t like to use this term, but it is Biblical, salvation is truly a new birth.

"The change" is important, if we do not change in our salvatoin, it is only a change by mouth, and not a change by faith or in our hearts.
