LENGTH

Manage time wisely. The more info the lost person understands, the better,

but time constraints will require you to assess priorities and take shortcuts
where appropriate.

Their lack of patience, low attention span, plans for going somewhere,
distracting friends and family members, and uncomfortable weather will
limit the time you have to speak. You should be able to give a gospel
presentation clearly and thoroughly in 10 minutes or less (IF they don't ask
questions or force you to refute their particular cult's heresies).

Don't talk so slow that you bore them to death, and don't talk so fast that they
can't process what you're saying. Remember, most of what you say is new to
them and they may have never heard the Bible verses before. Pause for a
few seconds after reading each verse. This gives them time to contemplate.
Sometimes they don't get it until they read it two or three times.

Usually, it is a waste of time to argue with those who are extremely
confident and vocal in their heresy. Devils use many lost people to take up
your time with pointless and endless arguments just to reduce the time you
have to talk to others. Give them a tract and move on.

SUBJECTS

7 essentials to explain and prove with scripture:

1. Who Jesus is.

2. What sin is and that they have it (and Jesus doesn't).

3. What hell is and that they are going there.

4. What Jesus did for them.

5. That salvation is a gift, and hence can't be earned.
