I have had several encounters with SPs over the years, Dean. And I have observed Kevin's approach to ministry here on TT, not to mention others who have drifted in and out over the last couple of years. And so, I will be the first to admit to a limited experience. Yes, I hung around and listened on more than one occasion, as I was curious to see the kinds of reactions their preaching provoked. And no, it didn't seem to me that they ever really got to the Gospel. "Christ," it seemed, was but a segue to the soul of their message: "Repent, or be damn!"
Having said that, I am opened to having misjudged Street Preachers as a whole, by the few I have encountered. That is why I am open to meeting you in N.O.

cd: Fair enough Bill-May God bless you. If one preaches the condemnation of the law of sin-then one must give the sinner a way out-which is Christ-to fail to do so is to leave a soul in torment not in a state of grace-This should be told to the next preachers you wittiness doing such.

Hi Dean. My question was to Judy. If when she answers it, you still want to have a discussion, just say so and I'll come back to your points.

(By the way, that may be your practice, but it does not seem to be typical of Street Preachers. I have been to the 16th Street Mall in Denver on more than one occasion, minding my own business, only to have an SP hollar at me to repent or I'm going to hell. Well, how the hell would he know? He doesn't know me at all. He just figures, given the odds, that I am reprobate. That, in my opinion, is lazy evangelism; moreover, it's symptomatic of Wife-Beater Syndrome -- poor gal hangs out at the bar and just can't seem to find a man who won't beat her: Go to the mall and insult people, 'til one of them beats the snout out of you, so you can praise God for having been pursecuted. It doesn't make much sense to me.)
cd: Hello Bill. I cannot answer for all Street Preachers as I believe each person will give account for what they preach but we often try to help other preachers convey the truth by correction with love to a deeper understanding of Christ. I would like to know if this preacher spoke of Christ and grace or was it just Repent or you will go to hell". How much time did you listen to him preach?
