That's what this altar is for

Okay, help me out here saints.

There's a guy in our church, "Dave", who comes basically because his
wife comes.  He *really* needs the Lord in his life -- it's as
obvious as if he was being hit over the head with a two-by-four.
But Dave absolutely refuses to make any real move to letting Christ
be Lord in his life.

He says he doesn't go to the altar because it's not scriptural: it
wasn't the practice of the church in the New Testament.  All it is
is an excuse, of course, but how do you respond to something like
that?

I believe the Lord told me that Dave will receive the Holy Ghost this
year.  To this end, my wife asked him if he'd be interested in a Bible
study at home, which he declined.  I bit my tongue and didn't blat out
that home Bible studies is *precisely* the way the New Testament church
operated :-)
