If you grew up in the evangelical world of North America, there's a good chance you attended a Christian event at some point that involved an altar call, complete with a passionate plea for repentance and emotionally evocative music. In the final episode of our series on soteriology, we discuss the history of altar calls and why they were disputed in the early stages of evangelicalism. We also discuss the benefits and problems with the idea of "asking Jesus into your heart" and explain the different viewpoints of whether someone can lose their salvation.
