John White? Aborted conversions: our fault or Satan’s fault?(2/3)

Techniques become immoral when, consciously or unconsciously, we use them to manage the will, emotions, or consciousness of others.

  • Another problem behind our passion for results is that we belong to the culture of commercial agents.
  • The true representative of our time is neither the scientist nor the hero of space.
  • But the seller.
  • Is the man who really spins the wheels.

However, a seller’s success is measured by the number of items they can sell; if you sell, it’s a success.

Many sellers are harassed by secret doubts about the quality of the product they sell. They should eliminate these doubts, using the techniques in which they were trained. In reality, large companies have their own techniques that aim to keep sales morale high.

The seller must dress well and drive a car. This creates an aura of success; and generates more success. The seller must be interested in their customers and their interest must be “real”. (However, can an interest be real when the final reason is a sale, a commission, and a success?) The seller must show not only the virtue of their products, but also that their product is exactly what their customer needs.

Living in a world of door-to-door vendors, in a world of their most sophisticated loved ones: radio and television commercials, magazine ads, and thousands of advertising tricks, it’s natural for many to imagine that the gospel is more of a thing. Sell. Therefore, many openly teach that evangelization is a good selling technique.

Comparisons are obvious. Actually, we have something everyone needs. We have a responsibility to bring knowledge of that something (or someone) to each creature. The time factor is important. Men and women must make favorable decisions for our product (sorry for that disgusting word).

However, there are some dangers in this comparison. D. Mary can (using the seller’s techniques) buy brooms, only to discover later that this was not what she wanted. To some extent, though very subtly, he has been “brainwashed. “It may bother you, but it won’t be a great tragedy. Is much more tragic a decision to follow Christ who only represents the consent of the sales technician’s decision?evangelist.

First, if the Holy Spirit has not acted in his heart, this person will not be born again. Your faith will not be the faith that leads to salvation. He’ll have false hope.

If, on the other hand, he reacts against his “conversion,” his resistance to the gospel will increase considerably in the future. Around the world, there are large crowds who are doubly vigilant against the gospel, having gone through a false experience of conversion.

Add to this the fact that the seller’s philosophy is full of moral cliffs, which is contrary to the very nature of the testimony of the gospel. Did you see what to impress for?For the sake of testimony?

Worse still, you are one of those who seek to show off a victorious appearance, to “draw people to Christ. ” This, of course, is the spiritual equivalent of well-ironed clothes. You smile (or at least it is expected of you), for the The believer is a man full of joy. You try to be like Christ, even though you don’t have a clear idea of ​​what it means to be like Him.

That’s part of the technique. You have to lure people to Christ and, if that means you have to remove something from your true self, playing an important role in public, that’s part of the testimony, but the real one?I? Suddenly he shows up in the bedroom, where there is no one but God to see him. And as for Him, it doesn’t matter. He is not a customer; He’s already on the right side.

Have you ever thought that the essence of testimony (a very important part of evangelism) is simply honesty?You’re salt, feel it or not. The Bible does not teach that the believer must act as salt, it only declares that he is salt. You’re light. God has accomplished something in your life, don’t try to shine. Let the light that God has put in there shine.
