Concerns related to the altar call: 1. There is no clear biblical precedent or command related to the modern public invitation or altar call. 2. Many today equate “coming to faith” with “coming down the aisle.” 3. There is a danger of giving assurance to those who are unconverted. 4. A large number of people who are “converted” during altar calls fall away. 5. The altar call can be effective in getting people to respond even if a clear, biblical presentation of the gospel and accurate biblical preaching are absent. 6. Scripture already explains how a convert is to make his profession public – baptism and a holy life. 7. For some, the use of an altar call uncovers a lack of trust in the sovereignty of God.
