Hello everybody I'm back with another soul winning video and in this video I
want to talk about the subject of facing objections or when to move on from the
person that you're speaking to. I know that in the previous video at the end I
did say it would be about calling on the name of the Lord but I want to quickly
address this point before moving on to how to basically wrap it up right
because not everybody you preach to is going to get saved not everybody you
preach to is going to receive it in the same way so we have to be careful with
not just you know going through it and thinking that they're saved when there's
some people who kind of just will be time wasters or argue or whatever right
so when there are objections right or questions that are asked at any point in
the gospel right that somebody you're preaching to right there's something
that they they throw at you that kind of deviates off from the main point or
maybe they don't understand something maybe they have some kind of argument or
objection to what you're saying be kind to them at first right as the Bible says
in 2nd Timothy chapter 2 verse 25 in meekness instructing those that oppose
themselves right so the thing is make sure to be prepared with verses for each
of the points that the people bring up right now don't let the preaching devolve
into an argument right we shouldn't waste our time with people who are just
trying to argue and don't want to care what the Bible says and doesn't matter
how many verses you show show them they just want to argue and they want to
bring up another point about why you're wrong right don't argue with people the
point is to preach to them if they don't want to hear it then move on and
I'll get to that in a second just different people to move on from but you
also want to be patient with people as well because not everybody's necessarily
trying to argue sometimes people are just not understanding right sometimes
people are genuine sometimes when people raise questions they're not doing it in
a hostile manner it's just that they genuinely want to know there's something
that's actually getting in the way of them understanding or believing what
you're telling them there's actually a genuine point that they have you want to
be patient with them and you want to be prepared to address that as well now you
also want to be honest when you don't know the answer a question right I've
seen people do this before also that they kind of just make something up make
up an answer obviously don't do that don't lie to them preaching is serious
preaching God's Word is important if you don't know the answer to a question or
if it's not relevant to the gospel right like this last point here don't let the
conversation be derailed into a relevant point you don't want to waste your time
just coming up with some explanation for it right if it's something that has
nothing to do with what you're telling them just go back into talking about the
gospel right so this is what I usually do when somebody brings up a question or
objection that's kind of irrelevant I just say hey that's a great question but
let's talk about that afterward because I want to focus on you getting saved
first or something like that right just to bring it back onto the gospel so you
don't just start talking about other random things right this has happened
before where you know you're trying to preach I'm trying to preach the gospel
to somebody and then they start asking questions about the end times or
something right now if it's like something about the resurrection or like
the great white throne judgment something that has something to do with
eternal life or hell or salvation obviously that might be important to
address but if it's just some random thing about like you know the Antichrist
or something like that there's no real not really a point in talking about that
when you're trying to get them safe right so you want to just kind of say
hey that's a good point or that's a good question but let's talk about that
later right so when to move on when somebody's a heretic the Bible says in
Titus 3 verse 10 a man that is in heretic after the first and second
admonition reject right so after you warn them once you warn them twice if
you correct them and they don't receive it they just reject clear scripture then
they should be avoided the Bible says to avoid that man right so if you preach to
somebody and they're heretic right there's somebody who argues against the
truth or they're trying to preach back to you lies like sometimes you'll go to
like a Jehovah's Witness for example and they'll try to start preaching to you
their false doctrine right and then you show them two scriptures that's it that
show that they're wrong are you saying well here's what the Bible says and they
say no no no blah blah blah blah you say well actually know the Bible says this
no no they don't receive it the Bible says you've warned them once you won
them twice you need to reject that person right now some people take this
verse a little bit too far Titus 3 10 and they kind of apply it to just
anybody who isn't understanding or who's asking questions a heretic is somebody
who knows what the Bible says and they reject it and they believe false
doctrine not somebody who's just ignorant right there are people who are
ignorant there are people who are not understanding it that doesn't mean that
they're a heretic right so the second one I want to talk about is just
somebody who's not getting it somebody who's just not understanding what you're
telling them right sometimes there's people who are just they're not paying
attention right or maybe they're just not very intelligent right maybe they
just don't understand these words maybe they just some of the words you're
saying are too hard for them that's the case you want to be patient with them
obviously maybe English might be their second language or third language maybe
they speak other languages better so English isn't as good to them so you're
speaking to them in English or whatever other language and they might not
understand it as well that's possibility right maybe they're tired maybe they're
drunk that's happened before too right maybe they have some sort of brain
damages all kinds of reasons why people won't understand it it's even possible
some of the people you preach use because the reprobates right that's
another possibility right because the Bible says that they're ever learning
but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth right and don't just assume
because somebody isn't believing or understanding it that they're a
reprobate all of these reasons that are listed here could be one of the reasons
they're just not paying attention they have other things on their mind they're
tired whatever but again you should be patient with these people right because
some people like for example people who are not very intelligent it might take
longer to be able to get them say because some of the words that you're
saying they might not understand but they can still get saved they can still
understand it you know I've seen examples where you know I preach in the
gospel to somebody and I spend 30 40 minutes with them and it takes you know
longer than average because of the fact that I'm not understanding a certain
point or something and have to use multiple different examples and verses
and things like that but that doesn't mean that they won't get saved it's just
sometimes you just got to be really patient with people you got to spend
more time with people right so spend as much time with them as you can until you
really can't think of anything else or it becomes clear that they're not paying
attention right because if that's the issue they're not paying attention if
they don't care then don't waste your time with them go to somebody who
actually wants to hear the gospel right but don't be rude with people be patient
be nice and try your best right try your best to be able to share as much as you
can and try your hardest to get them safe now we don't have unlimited time of
course so if you have like a lot of time like maybe you're going soloing with
like your church or something right and you only go for an hour obviously you
know you don't want to cut past that hour your other people are waiting on
you but you want to make sure to go as long as possible and either until they
get saved or until you run out of time basically or until you run out of
something else to say right those are the three options I would say for the
non-understander now when to move on for the person who's indecisive right
that would be the person who will listen to the whole gospel but they don't get
saved right they're not sure yet right some people just won't make the decision
to believe on Jesus right there right and that's sad but it happens right and
so the Bible again says our job is to compel them to come in in Luke 14 verse
23 right now again ultimately it's their decision right we should try to push
them to make that decision right to either believe it or not but we can't
force people to believe in the sense of you know it's their choice ultimately
right we could get them to agree with us or have say a verbal agreement or
something but if they don't actually believe in their heart and they're not
safe right we're not just trying to get people to agree with us or say that they
agree or say that they believe we actually want to get people to believe
right so our goal is to actually make or you know make people make a decision
basically right either say hey you either believe this or you don't right
either believe this or you want to think about it and then you can you know look
into it more later right so one useful verse to show them when they're kind of
indecisive or they they don't want to do it right now is 2nd Corinthians 6 1
where it says you know behold now is the accepted time now is the day of
salvation right and that's sometimes something I'll quote to people who are
not sure who don't feel like they want to call in the name of the Lord at the
moment I'll show it to them and I'll say hey you know the Bible says you know
now is the day of salvation because you know you could die tomorrow right and
that's a good hypothetical to use you could say well you never know when
you're gonna die you could die tomorrow you could die next week right if you
don't make this decision now this might be your last chance to get saved right
and if you die without Christ you're gonna go to hell right now again you can
say that to them but ultimately if they don't believe they don't believe and
that's their own choice you can't again force people to believe it's their
decision right you can just simply tell them what the gospel is right it's their
choice whether they believe it or not right so once somebody makes that
decision they say you know I'll just think about it and say okay have a nice
day leave them with a card leave them with another verse something like that
but don't you know again don't just try to get people to agree with you or tell
you that they believe when they really don't you know what I mean and then
lastly when to move on this would be like the time waster right so we've
talked about heretics we talk about people who just don't understand you
know genuine but they want to understand and then also people who were
indecisive right you preach the whole gospel to them they don't make a choice
just that right now some people are just time wasters is what I would call them
right this is the person who doesn't really care what you have to say and
they're really just there to waste your time right this is often found among
Mormons right Mormons will have set in their heart already that they don't care
what the Bible says and they'll lie to you and say they want to hear what the
Bible says and they'll say they believe the Bible and you show them a Bible and
they just say you know I don't believe that or they'll pretend like they agree
with you but it's obvious they don't right also flat-earthers other vain
janglers people who will just try to argue with you about just random stuff
that has nothing to do with you know anything people will just start talking
about random garbage this happens sometimes sometimes you'll just talk to
people who you'll bring up hey do you know for sure going to heaven and they
just want to talk about every other thing under the Sun right the Bible says
we're deeming the time because the days are evil in Ephesians 5 16 right so the
time you spend with somebody who doesn't care or doesn't want to get saved they
just want to argue with you about whatever topic you could spend that time
preaching to somebody who will actually get saved right so if you go to somebody
and you say hey we're from a Baptist Church preaching the gospel you try to
preach the gospel them and they just start talking about like you know they
believe the earth is flat or something like that and you say hey you know
that's another subject let's talk about that another time but they just keep
wanting to talk about and they just keep bringing it up and they don't care what
the Bible says about heaven just say hey watch the video on that card move on to
the next person because they don't want to hear the gospel they just want to
talk about other stuff right so they're really just wasting your time because
soul winning is for soul winning it's not for just talking about every other
stupid thing that that's out there right and debunking every other false doctrine
that exists about everything right we want to talk about the gospel about
Jesus right so that's it for this video thank everybody for watching and goodbye
