FINAL ADVICE

PARTNERSHIP

Door-to-door soulwinning is best done in pairs: one speaker and one silent
partner. Having a partner provides safety, accountability, and reduced
liability if false accusations stem from an encounter. And depending on your
style, skills, and preferred strategy, a partner can be semi-silent and help with
explanations or verse recall. Try partnering with multiple soulwinners. You
can learn a lot by observing different speakers in action. No two people
work exactly the same way.

PERCEPTION

LEARN TO DISCERN SAVED FROM LOST

Never give them the benefit of the doubt. Many will say they "believe in
Jesus," but only have a "head belief" (i.e. superficial knowledge of facts) and
not a "heart belief" (i.e. trust - Romans 10:9,13, Ephesians 1:12-13).

Don't use VAGUE, AMBIGUOUS PHRASES to make determinations. For
example: "Have you accepted Christ as your Savior?" Almost ANYBODY
will answer "Yes" to that question, because they figure "If I haven't vocally
rejected Him, then I accept Him," or "I don't hate Him, so sure I accept
Him." Catholics think they "accept" or "receive" Christ every week when
they "EAT Him." Campbellites will claim to have "accepted Christ as their
Savior" but a minute later will say they were saved by water-baptism. A

better question would be "Have you ever prayed to Jesus, asking Him to save
you, knowing that He would keep you out of hell forever?" The more
specific you are, the harder it is for them to feign agreement.

Even when there is a high probability the person you're talking to is saved,
just in case, think of an excuse to give them a gospel tract. For example:
"You don't need this tract, but you can give it to someone who does." It's

win-win. Whether they give the tract to someone else, or read it themselves
and discover that they're not really saved after all, the tract has served its
purpose.
