I'll leave that to Jesus then. And, perhaps you, if you think that works for you.
 
Alrighty then....

NIV Matthew 28:19-20
 19.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in  the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
 20.  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
 
 
 
NIV 1 Corinthians 2:16
   "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
 

NIV 1 Corinthians 11:1
   Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
 

NIV 1 Peter 4:11
   If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
 

 
If someone says, "God told me to say this or that"; he gets ridiculed.
 
If they POST His WORD from the Bible, they get brushed off as irrelevant.
 
What's a poor, old evangelist to do???

They are to do whatever they are led to do I suppose (altho I do not see myself in quite the same light as the original disciples). I am not led to bang people over the head. I'm sure we all witness to people using the gifts we were given. Frankly, you and I don't save anyone anyway. The HS does that. As in all things, pray for His will to be revealed to you, and then, follow it. Maybe for you it does involve telling folks they are going to hell. For me it has not been that, yet (altho if someone asked me I wouldn't hesitate to tell them. But it's not something I revel in, sinners going to Hell. Maybe I will have to answer for that, but I'll answer to Jesus, and no one else.)
