You are wrong, biblically, and should stop holding to the opinion that evangelism in church is inappropriate.

LOL -If I really said that, which I did not, then yes, I would be wrong. Silly boy! I will assume that you did not read my answer to marlow since you were probably writing at the same time. But here is what I said to him:

Reread what I said in #452 and #454 above where the word "anyone" also includes the Holy Spirit,

Nowhere did anyone say that evangelism does NOT take place in a building! also includes the Holy Spirit.

And let me repeat this also:

But we as individual are to be centered on Christ Jesus and when we are, then His love and His gospel will flow out of us like Living Water. We went down this same road earlier that you never addressed. When you do, then perhaps we can continue, but I don't see any Godly reason to do that again until that happens.

In the meantime, I pray that all will come more and more to a better knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord in their lives - yielding their will unto His.

Take a breath, relax, read thoroughly and don't be so quick to judge others for doing what you accuse them of doing! :)

May you be filled the peace of Christ Jesus!

The entire book of Acts is testimony to the fact that evangelism can take place anywhere, and is appropriate anywhere.....even in synagogues and churches.

Additionally, I'd add that you have a facilities-bound view of "church."

The building is to be used for "worship" in your view.

In mine, the facility is simply a building. I can use the sanctuary at one time for worship, at another time for a concert, and at another time for a conference.

A facility is multi-purpose and is not "holy ground."
