Dear Azure, thank you for responding. "Ironically, "the old fashioned altar call" was unheard of until the nineteenth century. It first came into being by the influence of Charles Finney, the pioneer of modern evangelistic methods. In Finney's crusades (c. 1830) seats at the front were reserved for those who, after the sermon, would respond to the challenge to come to the Lord's side. Those who were thus "anxious" for their souls were invited to walk forward to the "anxious seat" where counsel and prayer would be given them."...Fred G. Zaspel Grace to you, Hopalong |

Hopalong, From an old warhorse to an old maverick. A good tidbit of information. Allot of folks aren't aware that some things taught in churches today had thier origins here in the states. Thanx for bringing that to eveyones attention. In Him, lionheart |

Howdy Pard, I do worry that will take what I say as an affront to their beloved tradition. I pray that God will season my words with love. Perhaps I'm more like Gabby Hays...cantankerous! Hopalong |

Hey brother, Tradition, funny you should mention that. I'd just got back from our men's midweek when I got your reply. Our associate evangelist just happened to bring that very subject up. Tradition isn't always a bad thing until it supplants or contradicts Gods Word. Whats the old saying, it only hurts for a little while. I think we both may be a little cantankerous. In Him, lionheart |
