Are you suggesting that the people of Acts 2:37 were “believing that [they] could will themselves into belief”?
All I know is what the text says...they heard the message from Peter and their hearts were pierced.
Cornelius heard the message and believed.
I don't care how other people define an altar call.
All I care about is people hearing the word of God, believing in Christ and becoming His followers.
You can call it whatever makes you happy.
“I don’t care how other people define an altar call.”
Of course not. That would have to mean caring about facts and the truth.
“All I care about is people hearing the word of God, believing in Christ and becoming His followers.”
And on that I agree with you - although we’ll disagree on what it means to be a disciple of Christ. I’ll agree with scripture and the Church. You agree with Altar Calls.
