Why do Christians in most Reformed and Presbyterian churches not kneel during prayer? In this article Abraham Kuyper explains that kneeling was still customary as late as 1618, at the Synod of Dort.

Kuyper discusses what he calls the calling of the regenerate or the calling to repentance in the order of salvation. It is a stage that follows the regeneration of the elect sinner, the quickening, endowment with faith and uniting with Jesus Christ. In the order of salvation this is the stage where the Word brings the sinner to repentance.
