Hey guys, so soul winning tip for Wednesday, November 22nd is this. Know the goal. Know
the end goal of going out soul winning. And the end goal of soul winning is this.
The purpose of soul winning is this. To get somebody to change what they believe.
That's the goal. We are trying to compel people out soul winning and persuade people toward
the kingdom of God which means that they have to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Which
means that they need to change what they believe. Now either one of two things happens
out soul winning when you talk to somebody. Either you talk to them and they're already
saved in which case you know you meet them and they're already saved. So they didn't change
what they believe or they do change what they believe and get saved. Unless they change
what they believe from the point when you knocked on that door they did not get saved.
And changing what you believe from what you used to believe in to then being converted
by choice by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ according to Acts 16 31. That is called
repentance in the Bible. Mark in Mark chapter 1. This is one of the first things
Jesus taught. The Bible says now after that John was put into prison in Mark 1 14 Jesus
came into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying the time
is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand repent ye and believe the gospel. So right away
Jesus was preaching that they need to repent and believe the gospel. Meaning what? That they
need to change what they believe and believe the gospel. They need to believe that Jesus
Christ came into the world was manifest in the flesh died for their sins was buried and
rose again and look to Christ to save them. And I'm not gonna expound repentance and go into
a whole dissertation or preach a whole sermon about repentance. If you're watching these videos
you probably understand the meaning of repentance. It simply means to take your faith off of what it
used to be on whether it was works or a false religion or your own self or your own baptism
or you're a false god a false church like the Catholic Church and put it on to Christ and
trust Christ alone. That's repentance. You your goal is to get somebody to change what
they believe. One time a woman said to me out soul winning she said I don't appreciate you
coming out here and knocking doors like this. You're trying to get people to change what they
believe. And I said that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I said you're right that's exactly what
I'm doing because that is what I'm doing and I'm not ashamed of it. I'm not because that's the
only way anyone can be saved by changing what they believe. Don't pray with people unless
you're certain that they change what they believe. This is a big problem in independent
fundamental Baptist circles nowadays is this really shallow one two three repeat after me soul
winning which I don't believe in at all and people even accuse me of that just because I believe in
calling upon the name of the Lord doesn't mean I believe in forcing someone to pray and just
call upon the name of the Lord without even having faith you know how shall they call on
him in whom they have not believed so once they believe you call upon the name of the
Lord but look unless you are are convinced that they have changed what they believed from
when you first got there and have chosen to believe on Christ unless you're convinced
that they no longer believe in works and have been convinced that according to the Bible it's
faith alone unless you are convinced that they have changed what they believe and stopped
believing that Jesus is just a good man and started to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God and God in the flesh unless you are convinced that they do not believe that they
can lose their salvation anymore unless you're convinced of these things unless you're convinced
that they've repented of their false religion of Catholicism and trust in baptism from the
Catholic Church and praying to Mary and they're there unless you're convinced that they have
turned from those things turned from those false beliefs and have chosen to believe the
gospel don't pray with them the goal of soul winning is to get people to change what
they believe that's the goal and to choose to believe on Christ that's what soul winning is
so that's what we're doing out soul winning and that's the tip tonight no the goal and the
goal is this to compel the person to change what they believe stop believing in their false
religion and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ they can't hold on to Hinduism and believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ they can't hold on to Catholicism and believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ you have to make sure that they understand they have changed what they believe that that's
what they have to do to be saved all right guys God bless you and have a fantastic night
and a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family all right guys signing off now
