Coming to Christ

Man has made a connection between coming forward after an appeal and 'coming to Christ', but Spurgeon would have strongly repudiated any such connection. Not only does such an evangelisticf method not exist in Scripture, it vitiates what Scripture does teach on coming to Christ: 'It is a motion of the heart towards Him, not a motion of the feet, for many came to Him in body, and yet never came to Him in truth,...the coming here meant is performed by desire, prayer, assent, consent, trust, obedience.' Iain Murray, The Forgotten Spurgeon, p. 103
