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?

[16:24] – Does the fact that people legitimately came to faith during an altar call legitimize it?

[20:17] – Can altar calls have a redeeming value?
