Featured What Is the Best Single Passage to Evangelize Someone?

That is a wise and prudent comment.

 

Hello,
I am new to the forums and have enjoyed this discussion.
IMHO both scripture and testimony are valid here. As I read the posts some questions come to mind regarding bible versions and their interpretation. When the Holy Spirit reveals the truth to us what difference does it make? Would He remove the scales when error is present?

 

Please enlighten me on this part your quote "The Holy Spirit never reveals "truth" to us that goes against what He has said in His Word."

 

Ah, okay. I was thinking more of our own discernment of scripture. Our inability is absolute correct?

 

Doctrine of Absolute Inability. John MacArthur. Lack of spiritual discernment. Total depravity.

 

When "Evangelizing" if the elect cannot resist the Gospel then keep it simple.

 

Interesting.
Acts 17
27 that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,
And..

30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”

The juggernaut of Absolute Inability seems to take on some water there.
I'm sure all does not mean all tho.
For a different forum though.

 

I don't see a leak in Acts 17, but I suppose those who want to pat themselves on the back can imagine there is a leak.

 

Topic created just for you.

 

"Whosoever believes has eternal life". The gospel? It's what Peter preached at Pentecost. It consisted of the gospel of the Kingdom (spiritual kingdom Amillennialism) with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection in view of our sins.

 

Probably would have been progressive in your discussion with him to share one you think would serve as the best.

I believe Aaron was answering the OP's question below.

There is no best single verse to evangelize someone when God knows from His words what each seeker need to hear. What verse or verses may work for some, other verse or verses works for others as He does the increase.

 

2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Sometimes knowing the scripture can make one wise for when they are presented with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

Most have not heard the biblical gospel today. Only remnants of it. It's a good thing that the New Birth saves and the gospel instructs or most would be lost. Peter preached the full gospel at Pentecost and it was Amillennial as Jesus taught.

 

You will have to explain that one to me and readers for saying that and how Jesus taught it as such in scripture or give scriptural references or a link to that topic in another thread at least..
