Yeah, I think if someone is going to witness to a lost soul, or minister to a backslidden one, the LAST thing that should be mentioned are standards. Because standards ARE NOT A SALVATIONAL ISSUE.

When someone goes fishing we are just concerned about catching the fish. After the fish are caught, THEN they are cleaned up cleaned out, seasoned, garnished, put in the fire of refinement and made into dishes that others can dine on...their lives!

I said before and will say again...most folks know what we are about. What our church believes. and so on.

What they DONT know is who Jesus is. They DONT have a revelation of Jesus Christ. They DONT know how to be born again. They DONT know that Jesus Loves them!

Oh, there are so many riches in His Word. There are so many mysteries and revelations that need to be manifested.

Why in Hephaistos would someone bring up standards to someone who isn't saved is beyond me!

Now its another story if they bring up questions. Then let God lead you in the answers.

But it is certainly UNWISE to bring up standards to an unbeliever.

He that winnethe souls is WISE!
