No wonder no ones gotten any, then.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

For your aggrandizement, you must mean. 
If you've been praying for my salvation...your magic is weak. I don;t know what else to tell you buddy. Maybe you got the incantation wrong..or there was too much eye of newt in the cauldron. I wouldn't know, you're the wizard, you tell me....why don't your prayers work?

One's salvation is not found in something that cannot be proven to exist. Rather, one's salvation is personally dependent upon the individual.

To the best of my understanding, Jesus prays to god because Jesus wasn't originally actually god, just the son of god. That was added to the story later about him being god. They forgot to take out all the things that make no sense like him praying to himself. Daft, I know.
You pray "for my salvation", what does that mean? I get the gist, but what change are you hoping for? Are you trying to get me to do something different, or god to do something different? Or trying to affect someone else? I assume you are asking for some sort of change, or else I'm just as unsalvationed as before. I already blasphemed the Holy Spirit really badly so I may be beyond salvation.

As well as the others on this forum The Bible has a lot of stories in which people prayed to God to kick the crap out of their enemies. Those prayers seemed to have worked just fine. There aren't too many where people prayed for other people's salvation except for their own.

Your understanding about Jesus is incorrect He was always God and will always be God. He appeared in the old testament and was prophesied about in the old testament. He set aside some of his powers when he became human. Just as some people fast from certain food or give themselves a handicap in golf. Do you know what it means to blaspheme the Holy Spirit?
I am praying for a change in you.

Yeah, I assume it means insulting him. I've done that, a lot. It's childish, I know. But it's funny. I've also denied his existence, and written short stories about how I'm much better than him. Well, maybe not the last bit. But I am much better than him.
Yeah... I've studied the bible a lot, and what you say is sadly not true. But I doubt I could ever convince you of that. The bible was not written in one go, it's undergone a very long and violent series of edits. The prophecies are also a joke... literally at times. They give away the fictional nature of the narrative.
So... you're trying to affect my free will through prayer? Or are you just hoping things will change? I'm trying to understand what you're actually trying to do, if anything.

He did not appear in the old testament. Jesus didn't talk like he was god, nor did he meet the credentials for being the jewish messiah. You won't find Jesus in the jewish holy books.
