I don't think any of us would suggest we interact the same way we do with the lost as we do with fellow church members but there is some overlap as none of us would be foolish enough to believe every person in a given church service is saved (especially on Easter). So there are times when a preacher/teacher may interact with the audience/congregation as if they were unsaved and thus be tempted to cite secular entertainment or use worldly and potentially ungodly (Highway to Hell by AC/DC) techniques to capture their attention. <br /><br />I'm really just opposed to people being edgy for the sake of being edgy but then passing it off as a holy endeavor.

Period. Though we call congregational teaching "preaching" nowadays, there simply is no correlation to be drawn between what Paul did to reach nonbelievers, and what teachers should use to teach to Christians at Church gatherings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286614356498916059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3622874965689141031.post-92077238521082123832015-03-06T07:53:14.231-05:002015-03-06T07:53:14.231-05:00Thou hast proven thee guilty of heresy.
