Walking the Aisle. Not many people are familiar with the term, but then again not many people are christians. To walk the aisle is a term for whenever during the sermon the pastor has everyone bow their heads and close their eyes. He then asks those who wish to have christ in their life to come forward and pray with them.
To ME this seems like the church is just trying to show other people that their "program" is working to convert more people to christianity. I myself am not a believer, but I am trying to learn about God and all. There's just some things that I don't agree with conserning the church.
Its said that the "alter call" is a way to depict the congregations response to the pastors sermon. Whenever I do go to church I notice that most of the congregation is either sleeping, using their phones to make lunch plans or try and see who's playing football. The alter call may have worked back in the 1800's but I don't think it has made such of an impact nowadays.

I don't agree with this entirely. Sure, if the pastor has the wrong motive then this is true, but if he has the right one then it works.

I agree with this.
