Re: The Altar Call: Does the means justify the end

Honesty and integrity can never be thrown out the window for a response. Many times the emotional/dishonest plea only results in a response that #1 is not from the heart & #2 does not last. It looks good for the evangelist/preacher and the church, but what does God think of it. Just because someone goes to an altar doesn't mean they have given their life to Jesus Christ. I would much rather have someone leave, count the cost and make an "all in" decision instead of someone being able to boast about "how many came forward" etc.

Personally, I simply want to see a real God work! Dispense with the hype and the fluff. If it's God, it doesn't need pumped up or worked up or shouted up or rubbed in! I just want the real move of God!
