The Truth and History of the Altar Call - a podcast by Tim

Have you seen this before?  You are in a church, the pastor is at the end of the message, maybe some music playing in the background and the lights are dimming, and the pastor gives an invite to people who have not believed in Christ, or people who want to rededicate their lives, to come to the front and pray a prayer.  The pastor asks you to repeat a prayer he starts saying or has some deacons and elders come pray with you individually, and at the end tells you, if you prayed this prayer or came up here then you are saved.  Now there may be some differences here and there but What I generally just described to you is the practice of “The Altar Call”.  Today we are going to look at this practice and answer these Questions: What is an altar call, is it biblical, where did it come from, and should our churches be practicing this?
