Many American Christians can name the night it happened: a tent, a camp meeting, a stadium, a youth retreat. The music slowed, the preacher asked people to come forward, and they did. But somewhere along the way, the moment became the whole thing. Walk the aisle, say the prayer, sign the card, and you are in.
You may have been one of the hands raised at the end of a service, maybe more than once, because the first time didn't seem to take. Or you watched a friend come forward in tears and drift away by summer. You're not imagining the pattern. American revivalism learned to produce decisions on schedule, and it counted them. Jesus did something else: he warned the crowd.
