What Does it Take To Share the Faith
This is my first attempt at something like this...I have in the past posted to others as responder to them. I am a huge student of scriptural evangelism. I began my search by asking a simple question: how did Paul do evangelism? Also, what direct or indirect messages did he give in his writing to encourage and teach his students on how to share their faith? Have you ever wondered what the Original Evangelist told people or how they said it? Perhaps you are a convert from a major crusade and the only referance you have are telavangelists and crusader style evangelism. Perhaps, you are more educated on the topin and aware of styles and techinques such as taught by the not so biblical Rick Warren or Bill Hybbels (sorry if spelling for their names is wrong). This may shock you but the corporate world for which I am hugely apart of has influenced church evangelism. Tell me do you think this is ok?
Anyways, my whole question is this, what does scripture say is true and biblical evangelism is? Seeing that Evangelism is such a huge part of church life and I am endeavouring to grow my knowledge of this important ministry. In light of the currect impact of the Grassley 6 in the USA, I also wanted to start searching scripture on what biblical evangelism is and is not. In the past, my research allowed me to gain a basic understand and I have made it simple. I call it Histribe:His truth revealed in blood everywhere and the basic premise is this, it takes a nation to reach a nation but what this means is that every believer has a part in the "making disciples" process. When each part of the body supports the evangelism and the evangelist (those specifically called to reach out to the lost). The church becomes an extremely effective against Satan and his fources. However what does this look like?
Please feel free to respond to this question but keep some basic rules: back every thought with scripture and sight every source, reagardless of what your source is. Also take credit for what you say.
