[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on The Doctor on Altar Calls.
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "The Doctor on Altar Calls":
Matt,
you set out to discourage the exertion of any "pressure" on the will (in my mind I am thinking of things such as emotional praying/music ect. during the alter call). You later, however, describe the will as being influence by the: mind, the intellect, and the affections. Do you not appeal to the intellect of an individual when you implore then to turn from there sins or suffer an eternity separated from God? Or when you reason with then concerning the benefits of living for the Lord. If the intellect is part of the will then should we also forsake intellectual appeals also? How then do we preach?
