Hmmm... on one hand, I agree completely with that, and on the other hand I could see someone saying "This Jesus dude seems pretty hip." and then they look closer and see the message of Hope and Salvation that He gives us all, and thus they get the message, too.

Looking closer is the key. Unfortunately, I have all to often see it stop with the "this Jesus dude seems pretty hip" and then leave it at that. As a catalyst to conversion I have no problem with it, but we believers need to make the message clear so the Holy Spirit can do it's work. It is not I, but He who saves.

It is not I, but He who saves.

Agreed. We don't "save", we just deliver the message ;0)
