Are Altar Calls Biblical?

For close to two centuries, altar calls have been a mainstay across many branches of Christianity. Many people can trace the origins of their faith back to a moment when they heard the call to come forward and pray the sinner’s prayer. But are alter calls a good thing? Are there reasons we should use them or refrain from them?

This week, Dashawn, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss:

• [03:57] - What is the history of "the Altar Call in the Christian Church?"
• [16:24] - Does the fact that people legitimately came to faith during an altar call legitimize it?
• [18:38] - What do people need to know to be saved?
• [20:17] - Can altar calls have a redeeming value?
• [27:37] - How can someone know if their faith is legitimate?
• [36:18] - What is some advice for someone with this background or experience?
