Christians don't go door to door. You weren't dealing with a Christian.

-
Visitation is non-Christian?
-
Exactly.
-
So you aren't supposed to reach out to your local community and give them a clear representation of the Gospel? Are you supposed to sit in Church and wonder why people don't want to join? Is handing out tracks wrong too?

Edited by A Saturnalia: 3/4/2015 7:17:03 PMConsidering that going door to door has been shown to destroy a churches population, yes you are not supposed to go door to door. If people want to go to your church, or any church, they will go on their own.

Then what are Jehovah witnesses?
-
-blam!-ing crazy
-
A millenarian restorationist Christian denomination with nontrinitarian beliefs.

That's like saying Mr. Crowley is Christian.
-
Yes they do. They come 4 times a month, once a week.

Doubtful. I've lived in the same house for 23 years in a town that is religious with 0 crime rate and have had 2 people come up to the door once from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. One time in 25 years, you're a liar.
-
Where do you live, my friend
-
Michigan.
-
Minnesota. And having lived there for a long time and for the lack of things to do here, I doubt you've been here. Plus I live by a couple of Catholic churches, with a lot of strange people that go there.
-
I've been to every state in the United States including Hawaii and Alaska and I've been to every town/city in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, and Ohio.
-
I've had them come to my door as well. Not often, but they do.
-
Then they aren't Christians.

Christianity is a broad term that includes multiple denominations. Same with Islam and Judaism.
-
Thank you for the uninteresting and unneeded history lesson.
-
Just because something is unappreciated doesn't mean it isn't needed. You said they weren't Christians. What were they then? Likely not Hindus or Muslims. Not trying to bash Christianity, just to educate your ignorance.
-
I've studied every religion you can think of, I know Christianity is a broad term. They still aren't Christians.
-
Then explain your opinion.

First, you don't have to do it. Nowhere does Scripture say you have to do it. Second, it doesn't work, so it's a waste of time. Third, there are much better ways to see better results. Fourth, when we stopped doing it, we had a lot more success. That ties in with number three, I know. Fifth, the people who do it are generally one-to-three-pray-with-me, easy prayerism types, that have a weak view of salvation. Sixth, the people who are involved with it don't want to develop relationships with the lost, like Jesus did with sinners. Seventh, just shoving the gospel down people's throats isn't going to work. You can't pull your Bible out like a big hammer and expect people to listen to you. Eighth, door-to-door preaching will close the doors of your church to people. People won't want to come to visit the church because you've turned them off to the church through the preaching. Ninth, the people who do go door-to-door think that you can measure people's Christian life or spirituality by how many doors that they knock on. It lacks in grace in this way and is a faulty view of sanctification. Tenth, unsaved people just don't like it. Eleventh, people in general, not just the unsaved, don't like having cold turkey calls on their doors. It's a turn off. Again, that is related to number ten. Twelve, a lot of Christians can't do door-to-door; it's too hard.

So you are essentially saying that what they are doing is illogical and counterproductive? And that those two things automatically discredit them from being Christian?
