There never was an altar call made in all the Bible. There’s no such a thing in the Scripture. Nowhere down through the ages was it made till the Methodist age, about two hundred years ago, see.
Altar calls are when people come up and try to persuade and pull people, “Come on, John. You know, they…Your mother died, praying for you. Come on, John.” That’s not conviction, friends. No. Them—them kind, I…very seldom you ever hear one that ever goes very far. And, in that, you get everything. That’s the reason the church is all muddled up the way it is today, is because of such things.
Conviction, you don’t have to say a thing, brother, God is there and done done the work. “While Peter spake these Words the Holy Ghost fell on them that heard the Word.” See? See? See? There’s no altar call, see, no such a thing.
