They might be witnesses in other ways to their family and co workers by their example and by dropping "seed" here and there and yet never get credited with "being a soul winner", despite them daily praying for souls and those that are missionaries.
1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
1Co 3:7 So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
1Co 3:8 So he planting, and he watering, are one, and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
1Co 3:9 For of God we are fellow-workers, a field of God, and you are a building of God.
1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man be careful how he builds on it.
1Co 3:11 For any other foundation can no one lay than the one being laid, who is Jesus Christ.
1Co 3:12 And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,
1Co 3:13 each one's work shall be revealed. For the Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try each one's work as to what kind it is.
1Co 3:14 If anyone's work which he built remains, he shall receive a reward.

Fair enough, and as long as each Christian is living their witness to the world, then they are fulfilling the Great Commission.
I have no problem with church, and don't even have a problem with church being a social experience. It should be a place of fellowship, reinforcement, encouragement, healing, teaching, and all of those other things that the Bible mentions. My issue once again is with Christians who think that as long as they go to church, that's all there is to it.
On this point, I'm sure we will have to agree to disagree.
