Maybe instead of spending so much time here, at AF, he should be going out to all the non-denominational churches and teaching them a lesson on how to properly pray.
Can't save the saved.. It's not a sin to petition God, it's just God is not in the habit of filling petitions if you can't or won't also pray. It's a whole process Described by Jesus in the parable of the wise and foolish builder.
But they clearly aren't petitioning god. They are literally praying because they make that claim at the start of laying hands on the person getting prayed over. As you said - praying and petitioning are not the same.
