    From his new book None Other

    “Christians who don’t believe God sovereignly draws His elect to Christ are forced by their theological perspective to take a very pragmatic approach to evangelism. They become more concerned with what “works” than with what’s true, because their doctrine leads them to believe everything hinges on their own skill, cleverness, or persuasive abilities.”

    Interesting that MacArthur is an expert on other people's motivations for how and why they witness. I wonder how he could know that? Mind reader?

    You have been told close to 50 times that I am all for making disciples.

    Sure. It's just that there is nothing in MacArthur's quote about it, which is what Revmitchell was pointing out.

    It is interesting that you took it personally, though.

    Uh no, you're not. Not when it comes to your evangelism you have said you do not see that it is required to include discipleship in your street preaching
