The "Walk the Aisle" or "Alter Call" was at the end of sermons was when all the sinners walked down the aisle to the front of the church to ask for prayers for salvation. Preachers also used it to see how people reacted to their sermon. At my church (North Garland Church of Christ) my preacher at the end of each service says if anyone wants to come down and have someone pray for them or if they want to be baptized in the name of Christ, so i think this is a good thing. But calling people to come down so people can see who are the sinners is a wrong thing, and to see how people reacted to your sermon isnt a good thing to do cause your pretty much just using the people.
"was necessary to bring [sinners] out from among the mass of the ungodly to a public renunciation of their sinful ways." This is what Charles Finney said. Its wrong, dont ya think? Cause we all deal with the same problems, so that means all of us would have to walk up to the front cause we all sin daily. So if your church does this "Alter Call" or "Walk the Aisle" is fine i think, but you have to figure why your preacher and church do it, if its for the right reason then yes, but if its for the wrong reason then its a bad reason. An i think my church does it for a good reason.

Some movie that i missed in Bible class Friday
I saw the last few minutes of a Glee episode, and pretty much what i saw was that Christianity is just some other thing in the world. the writers seemed like they didnt like Christianity and that some guy in the movie got a grilled cheese sandwich that had Jesus on it and when he prayed for something using the grilled cheese it would come true or something like that. And this gay guy didnt believe in God but he went to church with one of his friends and he let them pray for his dad since he was in the hospital. So i guess what the writers were trying to say was that Christianity is whatever you want it to and its pretty much fake
