I know this is from Saturday, but I've been out of town and I felt the need to reply to Reynolds comment here:
I don't think the church has to sanction every evangelistic activity we do, but I think the church should sanction the evangelist. After all, when we go out to do a work for the Lord, we don't just represent the Lord, but we also act as a proxy for our church.
Your other concerns are clear, though the above is my reasoning for the overall sanctioning of an evangelist. :smilewinkgrin:
Are you saying that the church should sanction each act of evangelism we do? We were commissioned by Christ Himself to go into the world and preach The Gospel. Anti abortion ministry is very important. We as Christians should fight the murder of the unborn child. Why would a Church officially sanction the anti abortion ministry of an individual or group? It simply unnecessarily opens up the church to civil liability.
