1. Always give the altar call before you preach, otherwise, sinners and backsliders might understand what they are getting into, and be truly converted.

2. Make sure you ask everyone to close their eyes and bow their head, that way you will both grieve the Holy Spirit and you will give sinners the impression that following Jesus is something they should be ashamed of.

3. Avoid making the impression that sinners are expected to repent publicly NOW, otherwise they may feel a sense of urgency, and actually be converted.

4. Don’t mention the particular sins of which you know some of your congregation to be guilty, otherwise, they will take it personally, and may get under conviction and be converted.

5. Always rush through the altar call, then sinners will not have time to consider the enormity of their crimes against God, count the cost,respond and be soundly converted.

6.Remember not to give a strong, urgent altar call at every service, otherwise, those who are unskillful in winning souls might be encouraged to bring their unsaved neighbors to Church, knowing they can always count on an altar call being given.

7. When giving an altar call, be vague, and ask ,”if anyone needs more of God or prayer for anything, feel free to come forward!” That way, sinners will more easily obtain a false hope, and grieve away the Spirit of God.

8. Be more concerned about your own popularity than you are about the glory of God and the salvation of souls, otherwise God will work with you and sinners and backsliders will be convicted and converted to Christ.

9. If you really want to ruin an altar-call, avoid prayer as much as you can. Then you will be doing the work in your own strength, and few, if any will be soundly converted.

If you avoid these instructions, you are in danger of being successful in winning souls to Christ, obtaining the help of the Holy Spirit, building up the Kingdom of God and being extremely useful to God in this life.
