You seem to choose to make this an expansive study of evangelism. I was simply pointing out the fact that Mr Robertson spoke openly of the sinful lifestyles that are condemned in the Word. He stepped on some toes. There are entire chapters in the new testament where ‘toes are stepped’ on (Matt. 23, for example).
But, since you like to widen the discussion, I ask this question: Acts 2:38; is it from heaven, or of men?
I choose it because it is pertinent. Have YOU been sharing the gospel that says more about heaven than that it isn’t hell? I have been. And my faith has been envied. Maybe when you can say the same then we can discuss more.
Think about it. The gospel was given to the gentiles to make the Jews “JEALOUS.” (Exact phrase: provoke them to jealousy.) Now do hellfire preachers make the Jews jealous? Every single solitary time it is a turn off.
