Our Evangelism 

 

The Great Commission of our Lord to preach the gospel to every creature is very important to us, as it should be to every true church.  It is our sincere desire to see men and women convicted of their sinful condition and their need of Christ and come to Him for salvation.  This comes primarily through preaching "repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 20:21).

The offer of the gospel is full and free to all men.  Jesus commands us to preach the gospel to "every creature".  We do not believe that there is any inconsistency between God's absolute sovereignty in the salvation of His chosen people and His command to preach the gospel to everyone, everywhere.

However, we firmly reject all forms of evangelism that use psychological manipulation, gimmicks and schemes, because they are unbiblical and unnecessary.  While these methods often result in impressive statistics and 'decisions', they fall short of producing true Biblical conversions.  Even though God may work in spite of such unbiblical means, His chosen method of saving the lost is through the preaching of the gospel (see Romans 10:14-15; 1 Corinthians 1:21; 2 Corinthians 2:1-5).
