I'm interested in taking a Evangelism Explosion class my church is offering and one of the activities is door to door evangelism as well as going to the local college and sharing our faith.
Do you think it is biblical to go door to door to spread the gospel under the banner of Matthew 28:19-20? If I understand it correctly the emphasis is on making disciples, baptizing believers and teaching them to observe all things. RELATIONAL activity...not random selectivity.
Jesus' ministry as well as the apostles in the scriptures does not give any impression of just randomly knocking on doors or sharing their faith at the local market place for the purpose of making converts. It seems in each instance of folks being converted by the sharing of the gospel, their was opprotunity to share based on a sovereign and diving meetings that God had arranged for example: Acts 2 (Peters Sermon,) Jailer in Philipa reported in Acts chapter sixteen, The twelve at Ephesus recorded in Acts chapter nineteen and so on.
