BTW if that is what Preaching is then every message in church should be Acts 2:38 all the time to those that believe. I think you missed the point of what Paul was saying and the Translation I posted should help.
the process is to preach salvation to unbelievers so that they become believers
Rom 10:14 But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

How silly, don't you know Romans through Revelations was written to those who were called to be saints? If I made all the blunders you have made in the last several posts I think I would be quite and learn instead of offering information rife with error.
Notice how much effort was put into those who were already disciples, and was not this the purpose of ordaining Elders IN ALL THE CHURCHES?
Act 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Act 14:23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
