1. The altar call too easily confuses the physical act of “coming forward” (walking an aisle) with the spiritual act of “coming to Christ” (repentance and belief). 2. This confusion deceives people about their spiritual state. 3. This confusion often obscures the requirements of repentance and belief. 4. This confusion encourages people to base their assurance on a one-time event. 5. This confusion brings false converts with false assurance into the church’s membership. 6. The altar call makes conversion look like a work of man, when in fact it is a work of God. 7. The altar call confuses people regarding sacred space [that the front of the church is more sacred than any other place]. 8. The altar call confuses “coming forward” with baptism. 9. The altar call distracts Christians from the main point of the service.

A Message from our Provider:

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
