The CREATOR Wants You to Know a Few Principles of Evangelism
PRINCIPLES OF EVANGELISM
Point One
Evangelism is simply the sharing of the truth. There is no reason for you to make it a confrontation. Keep your ego out of it.
Unbeliever Comment
The bible is not the truth!
Possible Response
It either is true, or it isn’t. Here’s what the bible says in Second Timothy, Chapter 3, Verse 16…
2TI 3:16
All Scripture (in the bible) is inspired by God (literally God breathed)…
Unbeliever Comment
Well you have your beliefs and I have mine
Possible Response
It seems to me that the truth is much less about beliefs, what you and I believe, and much more about accuracy. Sometimes deeply held beliefs are absolutely false.
2PE 1:20-21
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,//for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
PRINCIPLES OF EVANGELISM
Point Two
Evangelism is not for the purpose of “converting” anyone. You can’t convert someone with free will. They have to convert themselves.
Unbeliever Comment
Jesus Christ is not God.
Possible response
He might not be. But the bible says He is.
JOH 8:45
“…because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.”
MAR 14:61-62
Again the high priest was questioning Him (the Lord Jesus Christ), and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”//And (the Lord) Jesus (Christ) said, “I am (the Christ); and you shall see THE SON OF MAN (ME) SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
PRINCIPLES OF EVANGELISM
Point Three
Disarm confrontation by acknowledging their point as valid…then share your point, always backing it with a bible verse
PRINCIPLES OF EVANGELISM
Point Four
Make statements of truth they never expect to hear…it gets them interested
PRINCIPLES OF EVANGELISM
Point Five
Paint yourself as someone who is not perfect in knowledge, because that is true.
