Saving Souls or Stealing Sheep: An Inquiry

Abstract

Evangelizing to members of other Christian Church bodies—is it something Wisconsin Synod congregations should be practicing? Ken Cherney weighs the scriptural principals that apply to both sides of this question. He examines the doctrines of the church and the call and their relationship to evangelism. Cherney then reminds that evangelism is not meant to convert — conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit. Rather evangelism is meant to create an opportunity to share the gospel message with whomever a Christian comes in contact.
