Bible Question (short): Question on Hymn of Invitation tradition |
Question (full): Many churches have the ceremony and on the hand written bulletin, after the sermon, ( Hymn of Invitation ) which during a song that centers around the confession of faith and the taking of first steps of salvation, my question, ( which is not petty) the scriptures never describe that we ( invite ) Jesus into our heart. I feel that this is an act of surrender, not an invitation. Let me explain, the grace from above comes to the humble, where is the humble in asking for an invite. The very word is wrong, and to make it worse, it is a man's tradition, which has no place in salvation. Many people every year are brain-washed with this act of ceremony, to me has no weight or valid right to even be done. I will find it interesting as to the response I get from this question. |
