Who is talking about preachers? There are saints that do this and yes I could name a few, but I won't.

What are you calling instantly? Two or three days, two or three months, or two or three years?

Before they get the revelation themselves - is that a fair enough answer?

Some would never get the revelation. It's the word of God, it needs to be taught by the ministry.

This is not directed at you personally. Your comment just brought to mind something my pastor told me long ago.

Some people may never pick up a Bible. Some people may never enter a church. Perhaps the only way someone might see Jesus is by seeing him in our lives.

Maybe instead of trying to beat someone over the head with Acts 2:38, some should just practice what they preach. They might be surprised at how many people would be "won" just by doing that very thing.

Very good words from your pastor and how true!
