I attend an SBC church and have my whole life. I would consider myself new-ish to reformed theology, so I’m trying to connect a lot of dots in my past and current ecclesiastical experience.
My question is in regards not to altar calls, but believers coming to the stage area during a time set apart for invitation kneeling down and praying. More specifically where did this practice originate and do those folks who participate in this believe in some ‘extra power’ of sorts if a prayer is prayed on the altar? I will say most churches I’ve seen this in are dispensational in nature.
The more my eyes are opened to the reformed faith the more dots are connected to my previous Dispensational background and would love to know the reasoning behind this practice.
Thanks!
