It’s dangerous to use Scripture as an example for something it is not proclaiming, even if other Scripture makes the very point you are touting.

Doesn't Scripture proclaim many differnt things in the same text? What I mean is, look at Jesus talking to Nicodemus. The primary message is to a certain Pharisee asking Jesus a question (John chapter 3) and yet we read that as though Jesus is also talking to us.

In the same manner, Revelations 3 is talking about a church in it's primary message. However, that message is carried forward today in many churches telling individuals that Jesus wants to have a personal relationship with them.

I agree with you that context should be examined and questioned, but I disagree with you that only some of scripture is good for evangelism.

2Timothy 3:14-17 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

I suppose one could use any Scripture in the course of evangelism - I am not arguing otherwise. For instance, Rev 3:20 can be used to show how Christ calls upon saints to repent as a way of showing His long suffering towards sinful people.

The issue that I do believe is dangerous is using a verse for a good purpose even if the verse does not support the agenda.

Example: Act 8:26 and following is used by some to support the contention that the Church must interpret Scripture; whereas what it demonstrates is that lost people being drawn by God need someone within whom the Holy Spirit lives to explain Truth.

The Word of God should be approached with reverence and respect and fear, as He holds those who teach in strict judgment. Our highest priority is to rightly proclaim and teach what God has said, not to convince men Who He is.
