And I also agree with Brother Hoover's statement above. We need to start looking at things from a bigger perspective. We are far too fearful and tend to pull our heads in like turtles whenever the vast scale of our mission looms over us. How about thinking along the lines of, "What would it take to see an entire denomination begin baptizing in Jesus name?" And then acting toward that goal.
Of course to change them so dramatically would require that we make some important changes as well.

What about each one win one or more..........Maybe we should stress that Spiritual reproduction is to the Church as Motherhood is to mankind. Oh that we'd be like Hannah and beg and plead for offspring. I fear we've let the worlds view of birth control enter the Spiritual realm of the Church. We want the pleasure but not the responsibility.

I don't think anyone resists this plan. We are talking in addition to, and certainly not in lieu of personal impact.

I would love to see......say.....the Southern Baptist come to a true new birth experience as a denomination....it is certainly in the realm of possibility with God....but it would happen much faster if every Pentecostal made it a point to try and truly disciple a Southern Baptist.......or which every Organization you choose from the RCC to the Elks Club......

Not if we insist they "join our church" or they are "worshipping three gods" it won't!

We don't insist that anyone "join", you have to be "born again" into the Church.
