We keep having thread after thread about sin great for the higher way of thought, but what about simple salvation? Did you witness today, lead someone to Messiah? Lets rejoice in His salvation unless He can not save someone unless they know the "rules" ... Is not that stupid... Lets put the focus on Him and salvation. Does any of you know what it is to lead a man/woman to Messiah?....
Tell the story .... no greater high or better story than someone being saved from a devels hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George you clearly said you dont think the Lord puts the responisibilty to witness to nonbelievers and lead the to Christ on you! You implied that you dont have any responsibilty you didnt come out and say that but it is the inmpression I get! But the scriptures are clear on the fact that we are to witness and share our testimoneys
Again neither of you have the right understanding of my posr reply.

Elisha,IF yo go back and re-read my post you will not read of me saying anything about not witnessing.
What you will read is that i do not believe the responsibility of leadiing others to Yeshua is the responsibility of people,htis is the responsibility of the Father.
Joh 6:44 No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
REALLY GEORGE?? You dont want prayer!! How proud you are to think you are too good for our prayers!
you have no idea what being sweetly broken by the Lord id becasue broken people are not as proud as you are! and as for your responce to my post I say to you DUHHHH! GREAT OLE BIG GIANT DUH!
Anyone with any disverment at all knows you dont throw your pearls to the swine!
You witness as the Lord leads and gives you the opportunity if you dont then you have wasted the chance he gave you!
You are a proud man and you think your understanding is so much greater than everyone elses! And while you are thinking that you underestimate our understanding incedently making yoursaelf look foolish!
Not one of us here in this last post I would imagine would be dumb enough to try and go out witnessing cold like the jehovahs witneses do with no leadership of the Holy Ghost just throwing Gods preciouse gifts to pigs and lettting them trample on them! I share my wonderful testimonies from the Lord with those who seem to be needing or looking I take leadership from the Holy Ghost and remeber the scripture that says take no thought of what you will say! He alwasy hives me the words but if YOU arent listening you wont hear them! If you spend spend less time sniffing your own stink and thinking it smells so great and humble yourself to a place where you know we are not all stupid and you the only one with any sence then you might get someting! But like my pastors wife said to me ones! as long as you are holding on you have your hands closed and closed hands cant recieve! So let go of your pride george as it is getting you know where especialy not to heaven and cwertainly not to a higher understanding of the Lord amd the Scriptures! good grief
PS
sorry yall about the sniffing his own stink comment but thats just as plain as I could put it!
Gardner: shared ~ Personally myself, i do not see Yesuha laying upon me the responsiblitiy of 'LEADING ' anyone to Himself.
What you will read is that i do not believe the responsibility of leadiing others to Yeshua is the responsibility of people, this is the responsibility of the Father.
*** Mark 16:15 ~ �And he ( JESUS ) said unto them, Go �ye� ( That�s you & me & all Christians ) into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
*** This is not speaking of �Responsibility� or �Leading��it�s a Command from Jesus to �Preach� the Gospel�
*** IMHO & Belief�Its an Honor to �Lead� some one to Christ Jesus through our �Example��Be Blessed�xo
Not one person is ever saved by the way i live my life,period.
Salvation is of YHWH.
If a persons salvation depends upon how i live my life,then Yesuha died in VAIN.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;
Eph 2:9 not of works, that not anyone should boast;
If a persons conviction of sin,depends upon how i live my life,then Yeshua did not tell the truth about the holy Spirit.
Joh 16:7 `But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;
Joh 16:8 and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
Joh 16:9 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;
Joh 16:10 and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;
Joh 16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.
