Bible Question: Where did the practice of placing a chair in the front of the congregation eminate for those wishing to join the church. I see this practice done more in the black church. Is this part of their tradition or lack of training. |
Bible Answer: I don't know of any scripture that would support this practice. As a matter of fact, it seems to go counter to the general tenor of the Bible in that we should treat all God's family members the same, at least as much as possible. This practice would seem to foster an atmosphere of putting that person under the microscope which I can't condone at all. |
