Share the gospel and let the holy spirit do its work.

Some say that there are sheep and there are goats. I say there are found sheep, lost sheep, and goats. Believers are found sheep. The rest fall into one of the other two groups. When you share the gospel to a lost sheep, they eventually come to be a found sheep. When you share the gospel with a goat, you get endless grief, often ramped up the more you try.

So just share the GOOD news (none of that hell baloney), and let the holy spirit do its work. You may never even see them come into the fold, but you’ll know about it after this life. :)

I read “The True Believer”. Recommended by Ike.

“none of that hell baloney”

By which I presume you mean to not focus on the eternal damnation aspect of (lack of) salvation?

If Hell exists, then it’s not “baloney”. But perhaps it shouldn’t be the first thing mentioned in witnessing. But, again if it exists, and I believe it does, it must be addressed.

That ‘baloney’ is a significant part of the New Testament teaching. Where are we wanting the lost to avoid ending up? Hell is a reality else Jesus would not have referred to it so many times.
