Too simple, that can't be right, we need to get some experts to secure a government grant and study this for a dozen years or so.

Is that kinda like job security!?

Reminds me of some churches I've visited where they sing "come to Jesus" over and over again until someone comes forward, even if that means repeating the song for 20 or more minutes until someone, anyone, gets up and walks to the front.

is it just me, or does that seem a bit presumptuous?  What would happen if no one came forward?  Just seems like an awkward moment in the making...too much pressure for most people, I am thinking!

My parents went to a church where the preacher liked to speak...long.  My Dad used to say the preacher would preach 'em into it and then preach 'em out of it, and then the invitation went on interminably!  (oh, and there were less than 20 in the services usually...)

In the services I was in where this occurred eventually someone from the congregation would go forward just to get the whole thing to come to an end. This wasn't a new convert, just a member ready to have the service ended.

 

I have often wondered just how long they would continue to sing and ask for someone to come forward if no one did.

No doubt John 81, I would be wondering that as well!

When it comes to altar calls, either someone has submitted to the call of the Lord or they haven't. Singing a song over and over for a quarter hour isn't going to sing someone into heaven.

 Preconceived notions that people have conjured up in their minds is probably one of the biggest factors holding them back from stepping out in faith.  I know at one time prior to accepting Christ, I thought I had to be perfect, and in my heart I knew I couldn't be 100% all the time.  I thought, oh man if I do this and I fail I am really gonna be doomed......it took me some time to finally understand, that it wasn't about what I could do, but what Jesus had already did for me.  I was so accustomed to living my life, taking control of everything in it that I took HIM for granted.  Yes I believed in GOD, but I did not have a relationship with HIM until I finally realized it wasn't about me but rather me putting my faith in HIM.  

 

Hebrews 11:1

 

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
