7 souls heard the gospel today!!

[Originalist]

Today we launched our new outreach using the Law as a schoolmaster to bring men to Christ.

We first approached four young black youth standing on a street corner where there in known to be allot of drug activity. We parked the car, got out and walked right up to them. Though none made a commitment there is no doubt in any of their minds now that they are in dire need of God's forgiveness and will face him on judgment day with no defense from their guilt. But we also told them how they can escape the wrath to come.

Later we saw three people at a small park where they were walking their dogs. We pulled in next to them and began sharing. We took them through the 10 commandments and they all soberly admitted they knew they were bound for hell if God judged them by the those commandments.

Finally a lady invited us into her home. We used the same method and this lady repented right there in her living room crying out to God for mercy. She almost got the Holy Ghost! She wants to be baptized ASAP.

What a way to spend a Saturday!

Why was it necessary to mention race?

How does a person ALMOST get the Holy Ghost?

I would assume, may be wrong, to let everyone know that they were reaching out to "all men" and a person could almost receive the Holy Ghost because the person almost repented and almost surrendered themselves to God.

There is no "almost" repented.

Act 26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

Act 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Act 26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

Why are you offended that I mentioned race? Let's rewrite the Bible so we won't know that the Eunuch was an Ethiopian.

By "almost" receiving the Holy Ghost, I mean her repentance was deep and strong enough that an atmosphere of receiving was being created. Sadly, her body was racked with pain and that was a hindrance.

Oh did I mention that she too was Afro-American? There. I just did.

Oh no, there went a great thread bro. Someone was offended by race. Bummer....
