I see, so now we have to count how many verses they "quote" before we can place a label on what they're doing ?
Ive even heard some who read no verses at all.
Then they are not "preaching the Word" now are they?
BTW, regarding church polity, Paul commanded Timothy to "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."
This shows that "preaching" in indeed done to church-members - & not just preaching the gospel to the lost (as you erroneously feign).
Many times when Jesus spoke he did not quote verses from the OT and expound on them.
What did Jesus preach
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
First off, variables of the Hebrew verb translated “repent,” “repented,” etc. are found 46 times in the Old Testament in 45 verses. Next, the expression "kingdom of heaven (or God)" is an OT concept & is referenced many times in the same.
Hence, your example above fails inasmuch as the words Jesus employed evoked imagery of OT language & concepts (it's not like He just pulled them out of the air).

Finally, you have defined "preach" over & over as someone who preaches the gospel to the lost (i.e., Evangelist) - I am asking how in the world someone can "preach" to the lost without ever referencing the Scriptures ??
