I'm at work and my Bible isn't but there are also passages where Jesus sent people home when they wanted to follow him...which indicates to me that not everyone is supposed to go out and evangelize.Tzeitel said:There is no scriptural basis for "life style evangelism." Jesus and the disciples, apostles PREACHED. Mormons are good people too, but they are not saved. There is no reference in this scripture like "look like a good Christian, and when people ask about it THEN go." nope. Just Go.

Okay, but what do you do when you get there?Tzeitel said:What does GO mean? G-O
not if you don't feel like it, but it is a command.
It sounds for a moment like you're endorsing the same kind of evangelism that Mormons do all the time, so why aren't they saved? Aren't they "going?"There is no scriptural basis for "life style evangelism." Jesus and the disciples, apostles PREACHED. Mormons are good people too, but they are not saved.

So if he can tick someone off enough to beat him up or kill him, he'd really be *in*?Stormygale said:Bruce Carrol once sang a song called, "I'd rather see a sermon" and alot of us would get further with people if we just took that song to heart. I once talked to Jehovas Witness, a very good friend of mine in school, and he told me, that going door to door, and annoying people was the way to do it, for the more people got mad and abused him, the greater his reward was going to be in Heaven.
It was because someone did what Jesus commanded them at matthew 28;19-20 and came to my door, that i now have the hope from the bible, so i would have to say that i dont think going from door to door is no use , i think it is just how jesus told his followers to tell others about the kingdom messageNo*s said:A). Yes.
B). I live my life and speak when the topic comes up. If my life cannot evangelize, there is no use going door-to-door. If it can, what is the bother of annoying people?
