Featured Which Gospel Evangelism Course to use?

I agree whole heartedly and since you were in the same area in post #12 Ken I would like to add this from his second... Brother Glen

2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

 

Paul quotes scripture approximately 70 times in his letter to the Romans.

 

Soul-winning? All that God gave to Christ will come to him. Have you ever noticed how the Apostles perceived that people had faith to be healed before spending time on them? Salvation is no different.

Preach to every creature? Man-made schemes and rock groups only pack the churches with tares. Simply preach the kingdom of God as Jesus did, and include His death, burial, and resurrection for our sins, followed with repentance and baptism by immersion in water in His name, He takes care of the inside.

 

Christianity Explored is excellent. My church has used it for some time and God has been gracious to save several folk who have attended it.

 

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

The heart HE ALONE has changed for his service!

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

A few hundred at least.

 

Just preach the Gospel.

 

People cannot understand the bible in spiritual matters unless first saved (born-again).

 

If you were to share the gospel using the Word in a Bible study. It would take a long time. If you understand the gospel of the Kingdom, you would summarize it verbally as did Peter at Pentecost. Peter summarised this and added the new aspects of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection to it. As did Paul.

 

My church offers the Christianity Explored course to those who respond positively to our door-to-door visitation or who come to the church of their own accord, who we suspect may not fully understand the Gospel and/or may not be born again.
A small group format gives time and opportunity for discussion and questions, and watching a DVD is (sadly) more amenable to many people today than listening to a sermon.
It is perfectly possible to devise and present one's own 'course' but we have found C.E. to be both biblical (it is simply a series of studies in Mark's Gospel) and attractive to seekers.

 

Wait! Who here wouldn't study the Bible with an unsaved person or persons?
