		So we do have an altar service and great spiritual transactions take place; people will walk out of these doors today because they've made commitment of their lives to Christ during this time.

		In the evangelism of today, inviting sinners to Christ, which is a matter related to preaching, has been confused with giving altar calls, which is something related to methodology.

		Because of the functional connection between the incense altar and the ark, the book of Kings regarded the incense altar as belonging to the inner sanctuary (1 Ki 6:22) even though it was located in the outer apartment.
		The expression "having the golden altar..." means that this altar belonged to the most holy place in terms of function, as in the book of Kings.
