G,
My question to Blaine was in response to his knocking SP's,
particularly those at the LDS GC and their methods. I thought it would
be interesting to find out what he thinks would be the best way to
evangelize Mormons. While sending out missionaries two by may two work
in peoples homes, it is not practical in a public open-air setting.
Dave brought up prayer and bullhorns. Prayer is not
how the Bible tells us people come to faith. While I believe tht
praying for those you wish to come to faith is useful, Paul tells us
that preaching is the way people hear the word of God. Paul made good
on this himself, as did most of the Aposles. As for bullhorns, I must
agree that if someone came into my house with a bullhorn and began to
preach, I would not like it. But, if they needed to be heard over
background noise, hecklers, or other noise in an outdoor setting, I
think bullhorns are a good tool.
DAVEH: But you do agree.....
Bullhorns are not how the Bible tells us people
come to faith.
..........don't you? If so, Perry....why would you criticize my answer
of prayer, and not criticize the SP's use of bullhorns?

there are *evangelical approaches to evangelizing* on which not all
evangelicals are agreeing, so what is *evangelical evangelizing*?
..also, how many street preachers involved in the SLC events discussed
on
TT are evangelical/s?
e.g., what about Kevin's position on 'evangelicals'; maybe he prefers
to
be understood in a non-evangelical category
..well, ftr perhaps Perry would delve into the background of his
question
to BB, below(?)
also, ppl like Kevin, perhaps other street preachers, too, will want to
distinguish themselves on this underlying issue--we'll see
