And I ran, I ran so far away I came back

I recently discovered this post., dealing with the question, "Do 'evangelicals' go farther than Luther in their reforms," lengthly responding to the oft-heard comment that Luther did not go far enough in his reform of the Church. (The American president John Quincy Adams even wrote a book entitled, "Baptists: the Only Thorough Reformers.")
In order to prove how interesting this article really is, here is an excerpt:

And instead of the Lord's Supper, at the end of the service we more frequently find the altar call. There is no altar call in Scripture. Luther believed that the Lord's Supper should be celebrated more frequently than it was being celebrated in his day. So less frequent celebration means running in the opposite direction of Luther. The Lord's Supper is all about Jesus giving His body and blood for me. The altar call is all about me having an emotional experience. The altar call was developed by Charles Finney in the 19th century. He believed that the Holy Spirit was unnecessary for conversion and that given the right emotional manipulation you could convert anybody. At least the Roman Catholics believe that the Holy Spirit must get the conversion process going.  The altar call has less Scriptural support than praying to the saints and the practice is much newer. The altar call is an example of running as far away from Luther as you possibly can. You're running so fast at this point that the Roman Catholic church doesn't even see you whiz by and you find yourself sitting next to Pelagius and other rationalists.
