Since when is trying to win the lost to Jesus "going down this road" to harm?

Surely you'd try and save a sinner by befriending them and having fellowship over a meal wouldn't you?

Bro there is a difference in friendship and fellowship.......Steadfast and I fellowship......He has been here and blessed this local church.......I stumbled through some notes once with him and the rocking church he is honored to pastor.......

If you wanna make a list I will say that I can list more people who do not yet have a full revelation of truth than almost anyone on here that we consider each other friends.........

There is a difference and post #1 made no difference...........

DDW,

I think what we have is a contradiction of terms. I teach my Church extensively about being friends to those 'publicans and sinners' (hehe) but to 'fellowship' in a biblical sense seems to carry the connotation that there is an exchange of spirits and an acceptance of beliefs.

In that faction I preach to be a friend to all but have a strong Apostolic base of fellowship. Works for us as I have a great Church... revival Church.

Again, be friends to everyone but be very cautious what you exchange spirits and accept the beliefs of. I think that is where some of our confusion on the thread is.

No list needed, I'm sure I could not compete with you.

I agree Steadfast.......
I am fully aware of what you brothers mean by "fellowship". I've just been tossing out a little different definition so that we can clarify what we all really mean when we use the term fellowship in this discussion. I'm all for friendship with the lost that if by any means we might save some. Having someone who doesn't know true salvation to get up to try speak/preach it from our pulpits would just be crazy.
