Went a-Soulwinning....
With an Assembly of God friend of mine last Saturday night.
It wasn't planned at first-- it just happened.
An awkward moment came when my friend wanted me to lead our new convert in a "sinner's prayer". In fact, my friend asked me if I knew, "The Sinner's Prayer" and I told him, "No," but I was willing to pray.
The most awkward moment came when after my friend led the new convert in a "sinner's prayer", he announced to the new convert,
"YOU'RE SAVED! YOU'RE SAVED!! HOW DO YOU FEEL?"
The guy said he felt good, felt happy.
But I could not help to feel that somehow, something was missing.
I told him with as much intensity as I could that God had so much more for him and that he is not to stop here- but to keep seeking the Lord, reading and obeying His Word.
We parted ways soon after that.
I have prayed for this guy, but I can't shake the feeling that there was indeed something incomplete about the whole transaction.
Just thought I'd share this experience.
