WARNING!  Modern Evangelism? What's wrong with the old evangelism that Paul, The Disciples and Jesus did?  Why does modern evangelism thinks that it can improve on what they did?  How dare that heresy think that it can do better than they did!

Not one time did Jesus, The disciples, or Paul used any carnal or worldly,  invented or creative ideas, activities, concerts, plays, or comedy to bring lost souls to Salvation through Jesus Christ! As it is Written;  Do not be conformed to this world (Rom 12:2)

Then you may ask, what did they use to bring people to salvation?  First they used the power of God.   Second they used the law. (They Showed the People their Sinful Conditions).

As it is written;  Galatians 3:26
24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith
NKJV

And the will of God is as written; Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; NKJV 

Any other method, idea or invention to try to bring people to Jesus Christ is unbiblical, false doctrine and a heresy in the churches! And the false doctrine of modern evangelism creates nothing more than false converts (WEEDS) by the millions.

If you add 25% pepsi and 75% water to a glass, how do you think the drink will taste and the effect of it?  Pure awful right?!  Well friend that is Modern Evangelism!  They take 25% scripture and 75% mans ideas and mix it all up, and the effect is false converts, a heresy, an incorrect and watered down way of presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

WARNINGS;  Jesus and Apostle Paul WARNED about false teachers as well (Wolves in Sheep's Clothing MT 7:15-16, Preach Another Jesus 2Co 11:4, Transforming Their Selves into Christians 2Co 11:13-15)! And even Wycliffe in the 1300's WARNED the Roman Catholic Church of its Modern Doctrines that brought Corruption, Heresies, Greed and such to the church And other famous preachers such as Charles Spurgeon, Wesley, and many others has WARNED about false teachings and heresies in the churches. 

And yet all the WARNINGS from people of God in the past and in the present day are being widely ignored all together.  Mankind and the churches has learned nothing from the past or from the present days.  Even the Protestant churches are repeating the same wickedness that the Roman Catholic Church has done and still is doing with their selfish indulgences and doctrinal errors! 

MSN Dictionary Terms:  CULT: religion: a system of religious or spiritual beliefs, especially an informal and transient belief system regarded by others as misguided, unorthodox, extremist, or false, and directed by a charismatic, authoritarian leader .

Modern Evangelism, Occult?;  So with that my friend Modern Evangelism at best is misguided and at worse is an Occult!  Modern evangelism thinks that it can improve on what Jesus, the 12 Disciples and Paul did in bringing loss souls to Salvation!  NO ONE can improve the gospel beyond the new testament!  As it is written; Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; NKJV 

And yet modern evangelism does not use the law to bring the lost souls to Jesus Christ.  As it is written; Romans 7:12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. NKJV  And as it is written; Romans 7:7 .........On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. ............ NKJV. 

To learn the Biblical Ways of Bringing the Lost to Jesus Christ go to The Way of The Master    Living Waters.  (My Brothers in Christ, Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron)

So my friend NO ONE would know what sin even was if it was not for the law telling us what sin is (ROM 7:7).  So how can we bring the lost to Jesus Christ if we do not use the law to show them their sinful nature and the condition of their hearts and minds?  And that we all sinned against God (PS 19:7)?  In this they will see the need for salvation through Jesus Christ (Gods Grace & Mercy).  For sinners that does not repent and believe in Jesus, a just God can not let any one go unpunished (John 3:18 .........but he who does not believe is condemned already......) NKJV, unless they come to Christ in repentance (MT 4:17), because Jesus Christ has paid the price for their sins (1 Corinthians 6:20).  But they MUST Repent, Believe and Obey!

Being Uncomfortable;  And other modern evangelist/Pastors are terrified to mention the word "sin" in their churches, because they do not want their congregations to feel uncomfortable. And yet the scriptures mentions sin all through scripture. Sin and Truth does make "those who are perishing" feel very uncomfortable in accordance with sound doctrine!

When the people who are perishing feel uncomfortable because of sound doctrine teachings, that means they are being convicted of their sins and the current conditions of their lost souls, by the power of the Holy Spirit! So shouldn't we reach out with the  gospel and pull them out of the fire that they are about to burn in through all eternity? 

If people are not confronted with their sins, they will not repent and they will not receive Gods Grace (TRUE SALVATION)!  If anything, They will be "FALSE CONVERTS AT BEST!"  Many of Church Leaders & Congregations are not serious about God and his words at all!  THEY LESSEN THE DEITY & AUTHORITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH CHEAP THEATRICS, WITH STAND UP COMEDY (BY PASTORS), MADE UP STORIES and (PRE BOUGHT/MADE SERMONS (BY PASTORS),  Many Pastors are more interested in making people laugh than bringing lost souls to Jesus Christ in "Being Serious" and in accordance to "SOUND DOCTRINE!"

Appearance of Godliness:  Many churches of today may appear Godly, and living for God.  And yet they deny the power of God and obedience to Jesus Christ.  As it is written; 2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! NKJV And many seems to think that because of Gods Grace, that they can do and live as they please.   And as written; Jude 4 They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. NIV

There are those who has biblical degrees, and some of them never comes to the truth of God.  As it is written;    2 Timothy 3:7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  NKJV  And with that I ask; are they Born Again and taught by the Spirit of Christ, or are they taught by man made education?  Jesus (Son of God), and the disciples never had Biblical Degrees.  And Paul were not taught the truth through his law degree either.  All were taught by the power of the Holy Spirit instead.

Pastors/Teachers of The Word Listen Up:  As it is written; Titus 2:7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.  NKJV

This is because many Pastors themselves are not Born Again, and do not have the spirit of Christ living in them.  Nor do they have a love and passion for our Lord Jesus Christ in all truth and spirit.  As it is written: John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. NKJV

Conformed to this World Instead of Transformed to God.  Modern Evangelism encourages churches and Christians to conform them selves to this world instead of transforming themselves to the ways of God in truth, in sound doctrine and in all sincerity!  As it is written; Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. NKJV

And my friend we are to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29), not to the likeness of the pagan (the unsaved) and not with the same behaviors and views as the unsaved has towards the things of this world (MT 6:32).  We are to have in mind the things of God instead!  As it is written;  Matthew 16:23
for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men
NKJV

Some modern evangelist/Pastors uses health, wealth and prosperity teachings, (Teachings of Greed & Self Indulgences) to which is the opposite of Jesus Teachings and they are heresies, as it is written; Matthew 6:19-20 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.........., NKJV

Modern Evangelism Denies the Faith;  Modern Evangelism also teaches that all a person has to do is simply believe.  And yet they over look the rest of the scriptures.  Even the demons believe that there is one God (James 2:19).  And the demons also believe that Jesus is the (Christ), the son of God with all authority (Luke 4:41).  The demons believing that Jesus is the son of God, is not going to save them at all! 

The Righteous Live by Faith and evidence of our Faith is what we do, (Our Works)!  As it is written;   James 2:20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? NKJV

Deceived;  Many churches and even well meaning pastors and Christians have fallen for the Modern Evangelism doctrine.  Very few of them realizes that Modern Evangelism is an Occult and leads people into a false sense of hope.  As long as things are going good for them, they gladly receive the gospel, but when things go bad for them, they fall away from our Lord Jesus Christ.  The following scripture is a real good idea of what I am talking about;

Mark 4:16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble. NKJV

That Parable of the sower shows an idea of how many false Christians there really are.  As it is written; Matthew 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.NKJV

New Ways as Opposed to Gods Ways;  Why do we need modern evangelism?  What was wrong with the OLD EVANGELISM that Jesus, Disciples and Paul did?  Can anyone improve on what they did in bringing people to salvation!!!!!!   OF COURSE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!    

Usually when any church or ministry accepts a new way, or a new idea, that involves rejecting the use of the law to bring people to Jesus Christ, and the ways of God.  And that my friend, most of the time leads to creating false converts because They Are NOT SHOWN The Sinful Conditions of Their Souls!.  Some of these false converts usually receives Jesus quickly and whole heartedly but since they have no root they quickly fall away from the faith.

As it is written: Matthew 13:20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy ; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.  NKJV

And since they only endure for a while, they also lose their salvation because Jesus said; Matthew 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved NKJV

The scriptures has never changed and bringing lost souls to Jesus Christ has never changed in accordance to Gods will and his ways.  God is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow.  He never changes.  And yet the churches changes to new ways and new ideas, instead of going by scriptures in bringing lost souls to Jesus Christ.  And that my friend is where heresies in the churches comes from.  That is from peoples carnal minds instead of the power of God and his words, his will and his ways!

Division & Greed in the Churches;  Churches and Christian Communities involves them selves with greed and self indulgences.  They treat Jesus Christ like a vending machine to see what they can get out of him instead of how they can serve him with out anything given in return.  As Jesus said to the church leaders (Pharisees) of his day; 

Luke 11:39 Then the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness. NKJV 

And when a brother or sister of Christ is in need, does the church and congregation help them?  Or at least have pity on them?  As written; 1 John 3:17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need , and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? NKJV

Churches and Congregations of today act like rich spoiled brats, saying; "Give Me, Give Me!"  The first churches all shared in all things (Acts 4:32-37).  So where is the unity in the Body of Christ?  So where is the love and caring at in the Body of Christ?  So where are the true Believers in the Body of Christ?  The ones that actually does have Faith in Jesus Christ by doing good to others!?

Turning Churches into Hollywood/Theaters/Clubs:  And then other Modern Evangelist/Pastors will use inventive and creative ideas involving some form of activity or entertainment to try and bring the lost to Jesus Christ, instead of using the biblical format (Scriptures & The Law)! MANY of people (Evangelist/Elders/Pastors/Teachers etc) have fallen for the Heresies of the false doctrine of Modern Evangelism that a Charles Finney a (Former Lawyer & Former Master Mason 3rd Degree) invented and introduced to the Modern Churches.  Finney's Sermons as Prof

They use plays, concerts, face painting, carnivals and many other things to try to bring people to Christ instead of showing people the conditions of their wicked souls.  So they they may have remorse and repent of their sins and come to Jesus Christ in Obedience.
