The Bridge Tract

It emphasizes the cross. No the bridge is not the best in terms of its text. It's the best in terms of its illustrations.
I wasn't referring to The Bridge tract. I was referring to this statement you made:
Evangelist6589 said:
Oops. I meant to say it does.
The statement of the Gospel as given by Paul in 1 Cor. 15:1-8 explicitly states the resurrection, making it an absolutely vital part of the Gospel. Then the entire rest of the chapter is on the resurrection.
On the other hand, repentance is implicit but not explicit in the Gospel. And Lordship salvation appears nowhere in the Gospel as taught in 1 Cor. 15 or proclaimed in the book of Acts. So even if I agreed with MacArthur on that, it would be implicit and not explicit in the Gospel.
I'm kind of unclear as to what "bridge tract" is being discussed here. Is it this one? http://www.majestic-media.com/index1.htm. But this one does mention the resurrection in the invitation at the end: "Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for you on the cross, rose from the dead, and is Lord."
There have been other bridge tracts, including one in Japan which was adapted from one in China. I was told recently by an MK from South America that the original bridge concept was from Peru.
Here is the Japanese bridge tract, which I made into a letter size chart to do street evangelism with.

I have that one as well. Another winner.
You're welcome.
I think they could have said more about the resurrection, and say why you have to believe it to be saved, but at least it's in there. I've found that a lot of tracts do that--just have the resurrection as a mention in passing.
There is a tract by good news tracts called "Do all roads lead to God" and it goes in depth on the resurrection.
Doesn;the Holy Spirit use the Gosel messag to do that?
We live not far from ha College, and am surprised they printedin NASB, as their bookstore seems to be mainly Kjv!
Wonderful!
That's because they are a fundamentalist school.
Order some on CBD. Bible version I think is either NIV or ESV.
Still suprised went with Nasb!
They are not KJVO or even preferred. They teach the eclectic position on textual criticism. All Christian bookstores have the KJV for sale if they want to sell Bibles.
I just use the tracts my church uses, having the contact info, because I'm going to invite them to church anyway.

Your church needs new tracts.
You are in complete and total ignorance about my church and the tracts it uses, other than the one tract I mentioned.
