Ya know Rev God saves as he chooses to save ..at the time and the place of His choosing.....and yes it could be an altar call...

yes it could be - I drew some amusement though as you frequently assail them - relax ma - youre still a bit wound up

yea I am not a fan of altar calls with "just as I am "playing in the backround for effect..

But we are all to offer the gospel ...I think that is what He meant by Go and tell:>) ...My problem is with the emotional plea or the group pressure that comes with the typical finney/graham altar call

I like the way my new pastor does it. No one is asked to come forward..but the call is made and explained..the one week he said something like if you need to come and talk to me I will be here..nuf...IMHO..He had presented the gospel in the sermon..and explained it is a life or death situation...He offered to be there

There are lots of problems with the standard Finney call... but that does not mean that I dis all calls from the Pulpit..
