Sudsy:
If this view is not what others would call being 'good at evangelism', then I am curious what their view is.
i was hoping plain would stop in again before i responded to your post on the former page.
others have responded, probably doing a better job than i.
now at 9 pages, i’ve read various views, and i’m enjoying the discussion.
only one member seems intent that evangelism is done in one way, even plain described her beliefs to include “not limited.”
P.7:
plain wrote:
.. It's not limited. As I did write, we need many different kinds of evangelisation, and, I think, we need to (also) use words. Not towards customers, clients, and subordinates. But when we have a chance, when it is "wisely" to say something, to a colleague, friend, someone we meet etc. ..
Proverbs 20:12

11Even a young man is known by his actions—whether his conduct is pure and upright.
12Ears that hear and eyes that see— the LORD has made them both.
13Do not love sleep, or you will grow poor; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of food.…
We can be told many things, but until we’re ready+willing to hear, it falls on deaf ears.
i attribute this to the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit decides it’s time, we will hear. “Hear” meaning, understand.
(Not a reference to Calvinism.)
i think barnhart explains probable philosophical differences above.
no one is suggesting you should change, you are not effective; yours is not the only way God provides.
The Gospel has been shared many ways in 2000+ years, men come+go, the Word endures. It’s supernatural.
