Of course you witness with truth but you don't do it by assuming facts not known and not in an offensive manner.
Now if a man was clearly drunk I would have no problem identifying him as such and talking to him honestly and directly about it. But to assume that a man walking to a ball game drinking a beer is a drunk and telling him that he is one is absurd and not christian in any way shape or form.
Likewise assuming a man is a sinner without knowing him is not right. Michaels come back that he would have identified himself as a christian is also absurd. I listened to this moron and just shook my head in dismay. I certainly didn't feel a need to enlighten him that I am a christian. He was so judgmental my proclamation would have probably meant nothing to him anyway.

I doubt the maroons who were trying to "witness" thought that ANYONE was saved that walked by if they didn't recognize them as members of their own particular church. Come to think of it, I seem to remember having that same attitude during my stint in the you-know-what during the 80's. . . . Of course we WERE the only UPC church within a rather large area and with only 100-150 members at any time it was easy to identify the saved versus not-saved.
