Page 33 - SoulWinning Crash Course

PEER-PRESSURE

If you can help it, try not to talk to more than one person at the same time.
When decision time comes, some converts immediately upon getting saved

will pressure their friend, spouse, or younger sibling to say a prayer, not
realizing that they are not yet convinced. In the right environment,
sometimes it is appropriate to separate a couple of lost people and have your
partner talk to one while you talk to the other.

"PLAYING WITH FIRE"

By the time you finish reading this book, you'll know how to answer many

of the cults' favorite verses. When talking to people from these cults,
DON'T BRING UP THEIR PROOFTEXTS UNNECESSARILY JUST TO
SHOW OFF YOUR KNOWLEDGE. It will paint you as an "attacker,"
picking a fight, and your overconfidence will make you look foolish if they
catch you off guard with an argument you've never heard before. Wait for
them to bring up challenging scriptural arguments before you attempt to
refute them. Many of these people don't know their own prooftexts anyway,

and you won't have to address them.

PLANNING

Coordinate with other soulwinners in your local church to avoid covering the
same territory more than once in a short span of time. Use maps and keep
track of where you've been. Start near your church's meeting place and
gradually go farther out. (Acts 1:8)

PERSISTENCE

"PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT"

The more you go soul winning, the easier it gets. If you put consistent effort
into it, with the right attitude, and pray fervently for help, your nervousness

will fade, you'll memorize many important verses, and eventually
soulwinning will become second nature to you.
