The gospel in many cases has been dumbed down to four points or say this short prayer with me or some such thing.The person who "comes forward" is or has not been counseled about repentence and what being reconciled to God means.They are immediately baptized and with a voice vote joined to the visible church.
Some may be brought to salvation with this method but many more attend church for a few weeks and then are never seen again.Luke 6:43 says "For no good tree bears bad fruit,nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit."
If this person shows no fruit in his life,no hunger for the Word,no concern for prayer one has to wonder if he is still unregenerate
