Biblical Review of Altar Calls,
By
This review is from: Invitation System (Paperback)
Dr. Murray has given us a tool. It is a tool that allows us to pull away the blinders of the present day altar call system of the evangelical church and presents a biblical critique of the system. Murray, while Reformed in his own theology, stays true to his tast and offers the reader biblical proof that the altar call system is a created system by men. It comes from a pragmatic view of evangelism that emphasises numbers above true coversions. It has come to us from Charles Finney to Billy Graham. My hope is that every Christian will read this book and understand that the altar calls, the "sinner's prayer," and other forms of mass evangelism are not found in the Bible. Discipleship, however, is but then again that will cost you (Luke 14:25-35) and we don't want to pay a price for anything, especially salvation (Titus 1:16; Jude 3-4).

Excellent refutation of the "new" theology of conversion,
By Steve Foltz "Prodigal Knot" (Gresham, OR) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Invitation System (Paperback)
Mr.Murray does a fine job of disputing the efficacy as well as the lack of scriptural support for the Finney designed (note that God had nothing to do with it) idea of the "invitation" system so widely practiced in evangelical churches. The book is short and to the point. I was surprised how old it's original publication date is!
Mr.Murray was prescient in noting the flaws of this approach. Unfortunately, the author leaves out the call to be baptized upon belief, just as many churches and preachers also do today. My recommendation: read the Bible, especially Acts of the Apostles, in order to observe the pattern of conversion practiced by and taught by the Apostles. And forsake all traditions of men that they teach as doctrine (Matthew 15:3, Mark 7:13) and understand the teaching of Jesus with childlike simplicity. Only men confuse and explain away what is plainly written.

A Crime against God and man,
By Samuel "Sam" (Ky.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Invitation System (Paperback)
After reading this book I came to the conclusion that the invitation system is both a crime against God and man! This method, as I believe, is part of why the church is so very weak here in America. There are people who think that because I signed my name to a card or came down to the front out of my seat or lifted up my hand then I am a Christian. This book is wonderfully written and well informed on the subject. It isn't very long at all and can be read in one sitting but loaded with discerning wisdom. I know it can and has opened the eyes of many people. It comes highly recommended.
