Well, to 'accept Christ' also puts the person in the control seat, does it not. It is saying that we are making the choice whether to accept Him.

When the people heard Peter's sermon and asked 'what shall we do', they were told to "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 Spirit".

So, should we not tell people to 'repent and bow before God, asking for His mercy'?

Knowing the best words to use in such circumstances would certainly be most helpful!
