What does your church teach about evangelism?
Q. How often do you witness? Do you wait to be asked about the hope within you ? Do you go door to door? Do you street witness? Have you gone out on missions trips to preach the gospel?
Asked by Meister9 - Sun Nov 15 17:46:54 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. We're trying to serve the basic needs of the community, rather than directly preach to them. We let the local neighborhood know we're there for them if they need us; we have a hardship fund set up to help the most desperate families in the neighborhood, knock on their doors to inform them of events we're hosting, such as a school supply and backpack drive event. We feel the most effective way to "witness" is to serve others; when they realize we really care about them and have no ulterior motives, they'll respond.

Why not Fortune magazine also publish a list of first hundreds of Billionaires in Evangelism and Politics?
Q. I am an Indian and do not have much to the credit of my country to boast of unlike citizens of other countries. But if Fortune magazine publishes a list as I requested above India will have the highest score although money is deposited in fraud trusts and Swiss banks. My country is the only one in the whole world where Evangelists and Politicians enjoy a free run at the cost of its meek citizens.

A. As the lone answerer has said and said correctly that India is not the only country notorious for this. However, while people from other countries do not mind wearing their wealth, so to say, on your sleeves we in India would like more to be known as 'daridra narayan'.In fact, if some fateful day Fortune does think of compiling such a list(and publish it, it would be exposed to so manydefamation suits that rather than face t hat barrage, Fortune would prefer to issue a corrigendum and an apology owing up that the information in question was based on inadequate data and rumours.Should they stand up resolutely to this barrage they would soon be swept away without leaving any trace of theirs.

Is evangelism and evangelicalism the same thing?
Q. I am supposed to be doing a school report on the Second Great Awakening in America... The teacher has both terms used in different scenarios so I am not sure which I am supposed to report on, but maybe they are the same?
Asked by everybody_h3rtz - Mon Nov 17 12:51:58 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, they are not the same things. Evangelism, is going out into an unrepentant element of society preaching and teaching the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Evangelicalism- is a term loosely referring to a rise in the number of Evangelical Churches within the Body of Christ.

Question to Christians about street corner evangelism using a sign ?
Q. My question is regarding quietly holding a sign on the street corner and only talking to those who show interest. Question: Is it possible for someone to be indifferent or even yell something nasty at the time they see the sign, but later get converted as a result of the sign?
Asked by Barney Rubble - Fri Jan 16 13:17:27 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's possible, but it doesn't happen often. I have apprehensions about guys who hang about on street corners hollering and hurling derogatory remarks at people they don't know and have never met. It is not a badge of honor to be hated by people you call filthy, rotten, and dirty; it is the expected reaction for your brash rudeness. These people also carry about a false air of superiority over every other Christian who isn't "evangelizing" the way they are. They are part of the "everybody's going to hell but me" factions of Christianity. I do not care for their methods of evangelism and I don't see this sort of demeaning attitude towards non-believers or the unsaved displayed at all by Christ in the gospels.

A. I think it's for a couple reasons why Atheists get annoyed. First of all, Atheists, like most people, just want to be left alone. They don't knock on peoples doors at dinnertime or send out pamphlets extolling their philosophies. And in the United States at least, almost every street corner has a church in every town, large or small. An Atheist couldn't escape churches if we wanted to. So if we ever did feel the need to find religion, its there, waiting for us. Also, in the society of the United States, scripture is also nearby. Bibles abound, scripture is online. No one really needs to be preached to. Almost everyone in the U.S. and probably most of the world has at least a passing familiarity with Christianity, its very… [cont.]

street preachers, when evangelism, have you ever allowed yourself to become the student and not the teacher?
Q. A close mind is a terrible thing to have when ministering to the lost. If your mind is close off to the world, than it's impossible for you to ever become a student if you are always teaching and never learning. Jesus himself was a servant, so this shows that he did not always preach or teach, but he allowed those around him to teach him as well.

A. Dear PC, Yes, I think so. It is the same as the death rattle you see in a dying person, trying to avoid the inevitable. Death will come to those who preach that their way is the only way, and since this principle is a ramrod up the spines of the Fundy mentality, that inflexibility, that strict adherence to literal dogmatic interpretation of their book, all these things will eventually be their undoing and they will fall, crashing to Earth and their cult will die of the poisons of their own making. But they will fight it tooth and nail, so in areas where they still hold some strength, like yours, they will cling to their vanishing power and fight their end. It won't do any good.

They may act different for a week maybe a a month because they believe they're different but in time their true self will still come through and all their weaknesses and vices stay intact, their personalities do not change.
