Do you Preach to others in line with Matt28:19?

What must we teach to help others to become disciples of Christ? Jesus commanded his followers: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) Thus, we must teach the things that Christ commanded. What, though, will help to ensure that an individual who is taught Jesus’ commandments will not only become a disciple but also remain one? One key factor is seen in Jesus’ careful choice of words. Note, he did not merely say: ‘Teach them all the things I have commanded you.’ Rather, he said: ‘Teach them to observe all the things I have commanded you.’ (Matthew 19:17) What does that imply?\n\n To observe a command means to “conform one’s action” to a command—to obey, or keep, it.\n\nWhat Jesus was saying here was:  A Christian teaches another person the Word of God, if they accept this teaching from the Bible & become a Christian themselves, then they are under the same commandment because Jesus said:  "For them to observe the same commandment" to teach & make Disciples also.

I am concerned.Preaching hellfire and brimstone is not always going to be the best way to start off a conversation.Every single one of us are different.Some people go off at the mere mention of Jesus Christ or all religions for that matter.Then some are willing to here what some people say with an open mind.Some people who witness to others don't always think out what their going to do,and how their going to do it.Some people are given the gift of bringing souls to Christ.Some stumble when they try.\n\nPeople that witness to others cannot and will not ever be able to make someone believe.There holy mandate is to bring the gospel to the masses,and have grace when doing so.Not everybody can find that fine line.\n\nNext time someone witnesses to you,and you feel their wrong.Tell them to stop,and to remember the way Jesus did it.He did it with grace,love,and adhering to his father's law.\n\nPeace be unto you.

Matthew 10:23\n23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.\n\nMatthew 11:23\nAnd thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. \n\nMatthew 19:28; \nAnd Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.\n\nMatthew 21:43, 44; 24; 25:31-46; 26:17-35, 46, 64; \nGoodluck ^_^

Being a Christian I strive to do just that. It's not easy. I think you become a hypocrite if you are not trying to love everyone on earth. I choose to try to act in a loving way toward all that I come into contact with. I often fall short of that. But I keep on trying.

Yes!  Pick a sucker group, claim you've read every word of the Bible and believe it in its literal sense.  State that you read somewhere in there, like John 4:52, that if your followers don't support your ministry financially, they'll go to h*ll.

No, we should share the words of God with others.  But also be objective if others have a different understanding of the same text.  It is always good to have more than one verse to support your position. \n\nI don't think that you will condemn yourself.

First of all, let me tell you this....A sincere, faithful Christian who practices what God/Jesus really teaches in the Bible, would not belittle you or judge you.  The Bible tells us to first remove the "sin" from ourselves before we go pointing fingers and judging others.  ALL of us are sinners, NONE of us have the right to belittle, humiliate, harrass or put down anyone else.  The way to spread God's love and word is not through hard pressure but, rather, gentle discussion, an offering of sharing and prayer.  Although I don't feel it would be right to report them, I would nicely ask them to stop and to go back and read their Bibles about how it tells us to be Christ's disciples.  God bless you and I pray you will find your faith in your own journey in your time and in your way!  And, by the way, even Jesus has a sense of humor...he has to!  Just because we are Christians doesn't mean we have to be prudes or "serious" all the time.  I can laugh it up with the best of them and Jesus is #1 in my life!

No, speak boldly YEA or NAY.\n\nPut on the whole gospel armour of God. Always have your shield of faith Jesus Christ. Always wield the sword which is the Word of God.

I would say to be militant about it is a little strong, but Jesus says that we are to go into the world teaching and preaching the gospel, baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  So, I would think it should make a great deal of difference to you what someone believes; as he also said I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Light - NO man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  The capitals are not yelling but for emphasis and I don't know how to make emphasis without using capitals - so if you are saved and you don't feel an unction to spread the gospel, then what good is your salvation?  I'm not judging you, I'm simply posing a thought pondering question to you.  I can't tell you what is sin and what is not - Jesus can - a reference you might find helpful is James 4:17.

Tell it like it is!! I agree with you! I have ran into some really rotten "christian" people in my life time and a lot of them do not follow the Bible or any teachings until it suits them.

No, all the churches in Christendom do not teach and preach the same Jesus. \n\nSome do show a real compassion and love for people and a real desire to reach out to people, not to evangelize or convert them, but to help them. These seem to embody Jesus much more so than those who shout the Bible, work harder to expand the number of adherents they have, the number of baptisms they have, the number of people attending the church, have developed all kinds of programs to help people learn how to convert people and grow the church. Many churches have become self-centered...they care only about the Church and not about humanity. Jesus, atleast from what I've read in the Bible, seemed to be more concerned with social justice for people and showing compassion towards those who need help in this life. The final thing Jesus said, after he had returned from the dead, was to go out and spread the message....and no one thinks it is odd that he waited to give this message so much later but over and over and over again stressed the importance of showing compassion and finding people's humanity and working for social justice...he speaks a lot more about this than he does about conversion and spreading the Church...in fact he doesn't care much for his enemies because they work against improving social justice, they have trouble seeing the humanity of all people and then administering compassion to others.

Jesus said,"In that ye have done it unto the least of your brethren, you have done it unto me." "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you have done whatsoever I have told you." "This is my commandment that you love one another."  Also it says to treat strangers well because some of them might be angels.  Jesus said, "By this shall men know that your are my disciples, if you love one another." And the word of God says: " How can you love God whom ye haven't seen if you can't love man whom you have seen?"

The Bible lays it out quite clearly -\nBe honest, treat others the way you want to be treated, do not kill, steal, or murder, forgive others, love everybody - even your enemies.  Of course, there's much more, but that should be enough to get started.

be loyal to the pastor if he or she is loyal to the gospel of jesus christ. what does jesus teach? love god and love your neighbor as yourself. if not, forget it. imho. he/she is just a person; it is only through his or her call to preach the love of god that he/she has any authority anyway. go w/god, my friend.

This oughta have some fun answers.  Easiest one is yes. \n\n The first time the gospel was preached, "They then that received his word were baptized," (Ac 2:41)  Consider 1 Corinthians 1:17, a passage used to "prove" that baptism is non-essential, "17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect."  However, look at the entire passage from 10-17. Paul actually necessitates baptism. Note carefully Paul’s reasoning. For one to call himself after Paul (or any other man) required two things: (1) Paul would have to be crucified for the person and (2) the person would have to be baptized in the name of Paul. Neither had happened, of course, which is why they should not be calling themselves after men.

If you're filled with the Holy Spirit you won't have to try.\nIt does not say to do what YOU think is loving your neighbor.\n The Word says to do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.\n That is what i do.\n\nTo understand more, click here...\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/
