Yes, there is much to be commended for in the seeking methodology, except Edwards, in his justification of the use of means by unregenerate, comes perilously close to the Roman notion of "merit of congruity", which merits grace proper.
One
might be tempted to accuse Edwards of such a thing
IF everything else he wrote is deliberately disregarded... or, there is the very possibility of one being ignorant of what Edwards espoused on the subject of man's natural state, e.g., his incredible treatise "The Freedom of the Will".
Some years back I used the concept of seeking, with Scripture refutations of the other 'S's to challenge the Arminian addiction of some, within the PCA fold, to the heretical EE, a "tool of evangelism", invented by James Kennedy of Coral Ridge, FL. In the end I was castigated and stigmatized as a "HyperCalvinist"...
Now, am happy to see that not all modern Presbyterians are addicted to this form of false gospel peddling.
I had a similar experience when in Bible college I stood up and opposed Kennedy's "Evangelism Explosion" as nothing more than a redressed semi-Pelagian Madison Avenue marketing ploy. For the entire length of my stay at that college "EE" was not used. But as soon as I graduated, it was brought back into the curriculum.
There are far more biblical/Reformed resources for evangelism, although not many are to be found from so-called Reformed authors today. Some of them are to be found here:
Reformed Evangelism. One of the better evangelistic training manuals, IMHO, was written by Will Metzger entitled,
Tell the Truth.
BTW... personally, I am not a Presbyterian. If anything, I am a Savoy Congregationalist, aka: Presbygationalist.
