Going for altar call is one of the methods of identifying yourself as a sinner or backslider in need of repentance. It is not a way to bribe God or to pacify your guilty conscience, but an act for the purpose of repenting from sin.

If you have committed terrible sins & you are feeling so guilty, going for altar call is not a way of looking for how to make your conscience feel alright & then go back to sin after pacifying your conscience. Repentance is a change of lifestyle that is aided by the HolySpirit.

You should be determined to repent when going for altar call. After repentance, you are to stop your old evil ways, apologize & make peace with those you may have offended, study your bible regularly, pray always, attend a bible-believing church, serve God faithfully.

The disciples of Jesus, In short, Peter, whom the church (government of Christ) is built upon, started it.

Acts 2:1,38,41
[1]And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[38]Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[41]Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

I have seen a famous Fuji musician, Adéwálé Ayuba by name who come out for altar call.

Zocalite:
You mean Peter started altar call lolzzzzz 🤣, so Peter will count 1 - 10 and tell people to come out to come and give their life to Jesus Christ

Lolzzzzz 🤣

You mention one person

Even the ayuba, where's he now in Christianity

Bros know the difference between church design or Christ instructions, am not saying all church design is wrong, some is just for orderliness, but because one of your loved g.o design something and his pastors turn it to their mode of operation doesn't turn it to Christ design

Let me give you e.g, the way different churches collect offerings, say na Christ design

Some dance to front, some drop at side, some ushers collect it


Altar call is just part of church design. It's not the route of repentance

some listen to radio and repent, some are personally visited by holy spirit etc

TheNobleProphet:
All false!

Going to the "altar" is all man-made twisted theory of confession!

Our ALMIGHTY FATHER didn't ask anyone to expose him or herself in the name of confession but instead HE Has always "admonished mankind" to "seek HIM" directly most especially in "secret" as long as you are genuine; HE will definitely answer and forgive because HE knows you more than yourself! Fact!!

HE knows if you are playing games; HE already Has perfect and accurate information about you even more than yourself before approaching HIM! 🙏

Shalom!

MadamExcellency:
What are you arguing? They heard the word, believed, confessed publicly, and destroyed evil work before all men.

Acts 19:18-19 KJV
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. [19] Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men : and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Acts 19:20 KJV
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

smokinloud:
MadamExcellency has shown you already, the very first church (government of Christ) that was built on Peter started it. They made confessions and baptism public, it's impossible to baptise 3,000 people on the same day they were preached to without them making public declaration.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CLUE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS LED BY PETER IN THEIR FIRST MINISTERIAL WORK AFTER THE ASCENSION OF CHRIST WON 3,000 SOULS FOR CHRIST. IF THERE WAS NO PUBLIC CONFESSIONS AND THEY ALL DID IT IN THEIR HOUSE SECRETLY AND NOBODY KEPT RECORD OF THEM, HOW DID LUKE KNOW THE NUMBER OF SOUL THAT GAVE THEIR LIFE TO CHRIST THAT DAY OF PENTECOST?.
Acts 2:41
[41]Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

lexy2014:
that is not what I asked you....Can you show me where it was stated in the scripture you quoted that the audience "publicly confess their repentance and acceptance of Christ"?

what you madamexcellency showed me, is it from the Acts 2 that you initially quoted?

you said

you talking about Peter. her post is talking about Paul.

so what did she show me?

gohf:
which one is He didn't ask anyone to expose him or herself? 😒

smokinloud:
Let's assume you're right, so you've admitted that the very first church started public confession àbí?. Even if it's not Peter but Paul.

smokinloud:
The disciples of Jesus, In short, Peter, whom the church (government of Christ) is built upon, started it.

TheNobleProphet:
No, HE did not!

Where did Jesus ask you to come out openly and confess in an altar? Please, you have to show it to the world to see!

gohf:
oga what you wrote was expose him or herself

If you are talking about public repentance, then what about john's baptism, Mary's oil, short man zachaeus it wasn't Jesus that asked him to do that. But Jesus never told anyone to hide their sins

TheNobleProphet:
The Perfect Laws of GOD will surely deal with your sins wether you choose to hide it or not!

But you gohf now have to tell the world where Jesus Christ asked anyone to go out and confess in an altar.

I'm waiting!

TheNobleProphet:
It's you who is telling lies and twisting the scripture with false quote to back up your falsehood!

Where did Jesus say anyone should come out and confess openly?

lexy2014:
what assertion have I made that you are assuming that I am right?

you have not answered my questions.

1. Can you show me where it was stated in the scripture you quoted that the audience "publicly confess their repentance and acceptance of Christ"?

2. what you madamexcellency showed me, is it from the Acts 2 that you initially quoted?

3. you said

you talking about Peter. her post is talking about Paul.

so what did she show me?

smokinloud:
Doctrines are not excerpted by the direct words of Jesus' mouth alone but by the practices of the church. The first church practiced it and that's enough.

smokinloud:
I've answered you, but you're not reading to understand, I told you it's impossible for a crowd of 3,000 people to accept Jesus and be baptized on the same day, and even be head-counted without them publicly declaring their acceptance.
2. She showed you the same practice from the same first church even if it was not from Peter.
3. Peter and Paul were both leaders of the first church and their acts are what we Christian follow as they followed Christ our lord.

The disciples of Jesus, In short, Peter, whom the church (government of Christ) is built upon, started it.

gohf:
so you are claiming that "hiding sins" are okay after all "the perfect laws of God" will deal with them.

Why are you not saying the truth that, God judges those who fail to confess and repent from their sins, even if they hide it. Lol bro those laws will find the person and that hidden sin and punish them but you want people to relax and hide their sins and wait for punishment abi?

Did I tell you that Jesus said anything about going to any altar to confess your sins. Is the altar God or the person you offended? Is the altar confess your sins to one another

Oga whether they make the confess public or private what is your business, why are you promoting people hiding their sins?

TheNobleProphet:
If I choose to hide my sin, are you the one who will judge my hidden sins?

You better be very careful with the false assumptions and falsehood you are spreading so you don't incur the wrath of GOD ALMIGHTY 👌

Richiez:
Repentance (change of mind) should always be followed by conversion (change of ways)
