Some try hard to persuade individuals to come forward to the Lord's table. Perhaps they are over concerned about having encouraging statistics of growth in their congregations. But there can be a great danger in this. People can think that they are saved when they are not. Individuals may feel secure in their condition without ever truly being converted.
Every congregation is like the ten virgins.
Some in the church are wise and some are foolish. We must be careful that we do not increase the number of the foolish virgins. No one should encourage people to think they are wise when they are foolish. How terrible if people in our churches turn round and blame us for the fact that they have ended up in Hell. There is going to be a feast.
