Featured No Open Air Preaching at BJU

Next: Repeal the prohibition of alcoholic lemonade.

 

Yeah, that must be it. <rolls eyes>

I can find nothing that says it has changed. But when I looked at BJU handbook and there was nothing in there about street preaching, either for or against. As far as outreach this page has many options, including going door to door. I just asked one of my friends who still has a brother at BJU and she says that street preaching is still allowed. As is handing out tracts on the street.

Given that Greenville is in the middle of the Bible Belt I think you could find any church to suit your fancy. And as far as BJU having a list of acceptable churches, that seems to be par for the course for Christian Colleges. The Bible School I went to had one, the Bible School my husband is looking at attending has one.

You have offered no proof that there is a rule against it. Seems you just have an ax to grind with your former school. You are creating a strawman here, as even your suppose rule change says nothing about handing out tracts or not being able to talk to people just for the sake of attacking BJU.

You certainly have a high opinion of yourself. It's been 8 years since you were there, so even if they did change the rule, which I doubt, it would not be because of you.

 

I will refrain from making a comment about self-serving ones.

 

Then it should be no problem for him to provide documents of this supposed rule change. Until then I will go with what my friend told me and what I could find on their website.

Than I would suggest until you have proof to back up the claim you don't post attacking BJU of not following the Great Commission, just because they don't do it Your Way.

 

IF Open Air preaching is of the Lord, all would still be able to do that, as we obey God and not men, correct?

 

You do realize that there is a difference between being outside talking to a crowd gathered, and yelling on a street corner at passer bys who will only hear 10 seconds or so of your point. If one person does stop and listen, you might as well just go talk to them one on one and work on making a disciple as commanded. Or ever better you could just see who you can start conversation with on the street.

 

Peter open preached, and 3000 were saved, but think that was much different than the on the corner person!

 

Well, anytime that we witness to others while outside , that qualifies, correct?

 

In the years I was there, late 70's-early 80's there was a lot of that done. I don't recall a single good response. There were a lot of people that looked at us like idiots. There were a lot of Christians that thought we were embarrassing casting our pearls before swine. Way more damage than good. We had more success giving out tracts and striking up conversations on the street. Does your hero, Ray Comfort do street preaching or just street evangelism?

 

BJU tweet about about its student body evangelizing all over Greenville this month:
