The Altar Call

An excellent brief video outlining the concept of the altar call, the decisions for Christ, and the historical church. It's a relatively new concept and a damaging one. However, it's so embedded in evangelical Christianity that many of you are questioning if you should even watch this video based on what I just wrote.

If you're reading this on facebook, it doesn't import video's from my blog, so here's the link:

    Thanks for posting! I had never thought much about altar calls and their impact on Christianity before.

    I'd agree with Traever's sentiment that there is a lot of muddled thought in Finney's theology (from the bits of pieces of what he wrote that I've actually read).
