Thanks for the encouragement. Have an excellent Resurrection weekend.

Excellent! We need more evangelists.

He is the way,the truth, and the life!

If you don't know, don't presume they are followers. That seems to be a more common problem.

@@12Church So you say - which I have pointed out is not necessarily so.

@@barnowl5774 If they're a believer they will correct you...

If they DO follow Christ hopefully *pride* is not an issue for them and they can joyfully continue conversation and relationship building without feeling offended in any way. The tips in this video, though, are clear to pay attention (first point). So if they aren't showing signs of being a believer then its still the Spirit moving in their lives to get them on a good path again.

I understand what you mean, but here's an example that happened to me regarding this topic: I was talking with the grocery teller, a woman of maybe 20 years old, maybe late teen. As I as checking out, I presented a quick overview of the Gospel based on John 3:16. She listened intensely and was "open." It got to the point where I actually quoted that Scripture, and as I did, she started quoting it at the same time. The whole thing was *joyful* and there was no sense of "offense" as if she were thinking, "He is judging me; he thinks I'm a sinner. Who does he think he is?" None of that. In fact we were both laughing and as I walked away, I felt pretty sure that the Spirit of God was pleased with this encounter. I felt that this young lady "ate up" the way I shared the Gospel naturally, boldly, unapologetically, in a compact form, to someone I hadn't met before ... and I felt that God used that as a type of *training* for her to see that she could do this! So in summary, there was no apparent "down side" but a huge "up side." I hope that helps. :)

I realize that your statement about "care" is a "catchy phrase" that is popular today. However, based upon *what* do you claim that it is true? Just because you *say* it's true does not mean that it is true. I have much to say about this but I'd prefer to hear *why you say this* before I share any further.

@@skyfinancellc9538 - Experience!!! God has granted me many occasion to see this axiom in the reality of people's lives! In El Salvador, Albania, South Africa, Malawi, Sierra Leon, Haiti as well as Tennessee, Alabama, New York, Pennsylvania and Nevada and in some of the uttermost reaches of this earth as well as the closest neighborhoods in my area! The axiom holds true no matter where God may have me in this world He still so loves! Yet, I know as a self- proclaimed atheist, that you do not hold to any of that! Prayers that some day very soon, that you will Repent.... Luke 13:3&5, Confess and Believe Christ.... Romans 10:9-10 & 13.Then all that God has allowed me to see in my walk with Him is confirmed in scripture truth!

I pray that your heart softens and opens for the love that God has for you and the free gift of the salvation of Jesus Christ. God bless you ❤

Hey there. I'm genuinely curious what you mean by your comment. Which part(s) are nonsense? God bless you :)

@mehrimazedeh how do you evangelize?

@@spiritman-em4qr okay since you asked. All this is not the basics as he said. The basics would be the actual gospel!!! Listen to Timothy Keller. He is excellent in fleshing out the multiple facets of the gospel. Most people do not evangelize. They don’t like confrontation. It is confrontational and scandalous ! I’m not talking about telling people they are going to hell! Per Se. Or turn or burn. I’m saying that you actually have to ask what they believe. Then ask them if they have heard of Jesus. What do they know about what happened to him. Why? He suffered because I sinned!! I explain susbstutional atonement. Big word? Most people need to first study soteriology. Before they attempt to communicate it. Why good works do not remove or pay for sins. They need to understand only the blood of Jesus can take away sin. 😊. They get this through faith in His grace. Friendship and blah blah blah is ok. But not the basics for evangelism. The apostles did not have time for all this nonsense. They went forth and declared the gospel. They even went into the synagogue and told them the Jesus YOU CRUCIFIED! Any way you have to be willing to suffer to participate in his glory. Most draw the line there. They think if you get into an argument or worse then you are doing it wrong. Dumb. Then our leader really must have got it wrong. As well as all the prophets and apostles. Martyred.

@mehrimazedehnot an attack sweetheart. Just my observation from 30 years of evangelism. This is the friendship training. The basics are the basics. Learn the many nuances of the gospel. Be able to explain it in 30 seconds. Anywhere anytime. In season and out. The problem is people don’t understand it themselves. Carry a paper explaining it?!!!! What the heck is that all about? If you need to study soteriology then definitely do. But carry a cheat sheet? Nonsense. The biggest obstacle you will find is that people expect works. No grace. You will have to repeat this concept over and over. If you try to be friends with people and then spring it on them it usually comes off insincere. Like you tricked them. I just ask them in the first 1-5 minutes. Especially if I think I’m may never see them again. But most people try to get people to say a silly prayer that they don’t understand and is not biblical.
