The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Evangelism

Neither! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Not being familiar with every Calvinistic church that currently exists nor having any reliable data to affirm or deny what MacArthur wrote, it wouldn't be prudent for me to offer an opinion, one way or another. It would appear that his main concern is in the area of "full-time" evangelists, i.e., itinerant preachers as opposed to laymen speaking of Christ on a regular basis. I do agree, however, when he said that we should not use the modern Arminian model of evangelism as a standard and by which we would then make a judgment. If, however, we accept that Missionaries are the biblical "Evangelists", then I would say the majority of Reformed/Calvinistic churches are doing a reasonably good job. If we were to judge the quality of many (most?) Missionaries sent out by Reformed/Calvinistic churches, especially in regard to the message they preach and teach, then I would say the situation is appalling. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" />
