Pastor Melissa Scott speaks about Altar Calls

Pastor Melissa Scott speaking about the absurd notion that we sinners, for whom Christ hung in shame and bled on the cross, somehow have the right to 'accept' Him as our Savior. She points out that He, rather, accepted us in our fallen state and willingly went to the cross to die, that He might save us from death eternal unto everlasting life.

Thank God! However, unregenerated man is not drowning, but already DEAD! We need to get that straight! If not reborn - we are DEAD! We need Jesus to give us life! Praise God for His gift of life!!!!!

I agree with the concept of what she's saying and would like to add a question: Where in the Bible does it ever say that anyone prayed to be saved?

I take the Altar Call or Invitation as a time to make a public profession of the faith that has already been given to you.

@TheDebtex Never be sorry when you speak the truth. It's called contending for the faith. With all the apostasy today, every voice stating the Truth that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, once for all, is appreciated.

AWESOME AWESOME teaching & lady! -- she is probably one of the only TRUE voices today in Christianitity -- I culd listen to her allll day long.. Folks need to realise that nowhere in Scripture does it say that you have to "accept Christ and ask him to come into your heart" to be saved.

I miss Gene terribly too-- I learned soooo much from him over the years... and

had tons of laughs as well while listening to him!

Sorry to argue with you, but, she is correct. Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners.

@gondolacrescent5 I believe she is originally from the central United states. Could be wrong though.

@Apalachee207 Jesus isn't knocking on our hearts door,it's the churches door that He's knocking on Revelation 3:19.Like a couple of other people have correctly said,We are all dead in the water and it is the Holy Spirit that must quicken us to life so we can come to Jesus,our repentance and belief follows our new birth,as evidence from God that He alone has made us born again.John 6:44 no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him and I will raise him up on the last day.

@gondolacrescent5 I've often thought that as well...but I can assure you it's not from the West Coast (I live here) she sounds much more like my inlaws from the north.

Excellent! this is the righteous and correct teaching, as Paul wrote in Rom.9: 'so it is not of man who wills, nor man who runs, but of God who bestows mercy." mankind come to Christ only as the Father draws them.John.6:37-45 to say man saves himself by an altar call decision is presumption, especially if election is denied and spurned. Melissa is a true prophetess.
