As a lifetime worker I have found out who changes to please me will change to please someone else...who recieves a revelation from God is usually around to stay!

Yes the word must be taught we all agree on that fact.

'. . . that He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.'
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even the Word of God from Jerusalem."
Micah 4:2

This is not directed at you personally. Your comment just brought to mind something my pastor told me long ago.

Some people may never pick up a Bible. Some people may never enter a church. Perhaps the only way someone might see Jesus is by seeing him in our lives.

Maybe instead of trying to beat someone over the head with Acts 2:38, some should just practice what they preach. They might be surprised at how many people would be "won" just by doing that very thing.

I have always told our people it is ok to hand out tracts but living Jesus is a living tract...a living witness...we must live Jesus 24/7.

Just curious - how long have you been following Acts 2:38?

If I remember correctly the very first sermon after the church was born contained Acts 2:38. Did Peter beat them over the head with it?
