When evangelizing the trend I notice

1. Atheist: friendly and knowledgable about different belief systems (Of course, some are very mean and hostile and mock and are disrespectful)

2. Agnostic: depends but usually friendly and curious

3. New Agers: very hostile and aggressive and desire to push their own views (Of course, some are very nice and respectful about what I have to say and want to engage in friendly dialogue with me and are curious to learn more and give interesting and challenging questions about the Christian faith that are worth investigating)

4. Buddhist: refuse to talk or very passive

5. Muslim: Fervor to engage in an interaction about religion and faith and sympathetic to followers of other monotheistic religions and knowledgable about different belief systems (Some are very hostile though)

6. Judaism: refuse to talk or very passive

7. Hindu: mutual respect, friendly, and somewhat knowledgable about other religious world views

8. Catholic: Basic affirmation of basic faith principles but are somewhat confused when it comes to faith

9. Jehovah’s Witness: Young people are curious but elders are vehemently opposed and hostile to Christianity

10. Mormon: met once but I don’t know much about them

11. Humanist: usually agree in some points, but not others, tough to deal with and passive aggressive to Christians

12. false Christianity: very hostile

13. Christian: always positive about gospel preaching!

    Yeah I pretty much disagree with your slant on Christians. Depending on what brand of Christian you encounter but many I have interacted with can be very hostile, angry and when questioned about deeper matters of faith they become dismissive and quite easily consign people, including those of other denominations, to hell.

    New Age: Yeah bro but have you tried healing crystals? I’ll project myself as a fire in your dreams tonight and tell you more about it

    I grew up an atheist. At about 26 years of age, I started accepting the existence of god. I went through many spiritual teachings(new age, etc…) and got some fulfillment and peace, but I knew something was missing. After much study I concluded that Jesus either was who he said he was or he was the biggest liar and con artist to ever walk the earth. There is no middle ground. After much study, I concluded that he was who he said he was. I gave my life to Jesus in 1991 and have never regretted my decision. I have never heard of a dying believer regret that he had made the decision to become a Christian.

    The only thing I love about the mormons is the choir…

    Mormons are much focused on good works to maintain salvation so for them the Gospel of Christ is not enough. ✝️

  6. Matthew Dale Sowers says:

    Mormons think they’re Christian. So they’ll agree with most of what ypu su about the gospel. But they have a saved by works belief

  7. Carlos Sotelo says:

    Catholics may acknowledge that Jesus is Lord and savior but they typically tend to believe they are uncertain He is as forgiving as He claims in scripture which is why they use Mary or saints as mediators. Jehovah’s witnesses just like to believe they know how to interpret scripture better than most Christians because anything the watchtower society told them is true in their eyes.

    I’d like to throw freemasons in there…they believe their noble charitable works and ability to manipulate people of various religious faiths, including professing Christians, into unity make them the chosen ones of the great architect of the universe (aka the true God that they say all religions are really praying to). They’re open to every faith, but with Christians they specifically set boundaries on portions of scripture that teach of Jesus Christ being God in the flesh and the only way to Heaven.

    Nice summary. Any folk on this page from Cape Town, South Africa who enjoy going out to witness in small groups? #CanIGetAWitness
