John, While on this subject you might address the biblical basis of "Altar Calls" in "bible based" churches. Emmaus |

Dear Emmaus, "Altar Calls" in christian churches have no biblical warrant. They are a relatively recent innovation, whose passing would be welcomed by me. My opposition is based on Scripture. We are called by God to faith in Christ (Rom 8:30). The believer is then to confess with his mouth (Rom 10:9) that which he has believed in his heart. But, confession, as well as baptism is an evidence, not a means of salvation (Eph 2:8). The gospel does not proscribe walking an aisle, kneeling before an altar or saying a "sinners prayer" as an evidence that one has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. It is a mistake to go beyond what is "written". John |

John, Don't you think maybe the people who use altar calls see some biblical connection. I would be interested in hearing what they have to say on the subject. Of course we know where those altars came from. :-) Emmaus |
