Evangelism: What it is, and what it is not
What it IS:
Evangelism is basically reaching out to a lost soul with the life saving message that Jesus Loves them.
This is a simple message best expressed by John 3:16
Evangelism is NOT beating a person over the head with your Bible (literally or figuratively) and telling them they're going to hell.
They may very well be headed there (and remember ONLY God knows the answer to that question!), but this is not an effective way to preach the Gospel.
Discussion?

What it is NOT:KJV - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
NLT - For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
