1 | preaching the Gospel? | Eph 2:8 | julcol87 | 226810 | ||
As Christians are we required to preach the Gospel for salvation. My husband is a Jehovah's witness, and although i have been told that they go door to door because that is part of their salvation,he says it is because it is a command in the bible. Help! Mathew 28:19 2 Timothy 4:5 Jame2:20 |

2 | preaching the Gospel? | Eph 2:8 | lionheart | 226811 | ||
julcol87, The verses that you have sighted are addressed to those who are already saved they are not addressed as a requirement for salvation. These are things that we as disciples of Jesus Christ are instructed to do and should desire to do. Our salvation is not dependent on anything we do but in response to what God has already done in His Son Jesus Christ. John 3:16 Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9,10 are among scriptures regarding salvation. Read the Gospel of John it's loaded. In Him, lionheart |

3 | preaching the Gospel? | Eph 2:8 | julcol87 | 226953 | ||
Thanks lionhart. I have accepted Christ as lord, and Savior, i know that i am a new creature in Christ, and that i am saved, i am preparing my self for when he returns. But my husband somewhat discourages me when he tells me that i need to preach the gospel to be saved, and i believe he means going door to door as he does. But what i've learned is that you can preach the gospel anywhere, it doesn't have to be door to door. God will open doors for us, to tell people about Christ. Is that correct? And i feel bad when he's out servicing going door to door, and i'm at home sitting... am i doing wrong? What does God require of me? Thanks. Julia |

4 | preaching the Gospel? | Eph 2:8 | Beja | 226956 | ||
Julia, I can not think of any passage that teaches that we must preach the gospel in order to be saved. What scriptures does your husband give to support this statment? What does your pastor say about this? Ephesians 4 teaches that is the church that is meant to build you up such that various winds of false doctrine will not cause you such turmoil. In Christ, Beja |

5 | preaching the Gospel? | Eph 2:8 | julcol87 | 226973 | ||
Beja, Thanks for replying. My husband says that it is a requirement to preach the gospel, because this is the commandment Jesus left for his disciples. I agree that we should preach the gospel, but he says that Jesus sent his disciples in two's, so that is why his religion goes door to door in two's, and he believes that's how everyone should do it. I don't totally agree with him on that, and think that we can preach the gospel anywhere, it doesn't necessarily have to be door to door. And That's when i feel somewhat discouraged, because I am new to God's word, and he says they are the only one's who are true followers of God because they don't take part in pagan holidays, they preach door to door, and don't believe in the trinity. He talks to me as if he feels bad for me because he thinks I'm lost since I am not part of his religion. I don't argue with him anymore about our different beliefs, I'm trying to win him over with my love. Thanks Julia |

Julia, I don't want to cause disunity between you and your husband but ask him to back up his statement with rightly divided scripture.2 TIm 2:15 I will encourage you with this, love your husband and stand firm on the Word. In Him, lionheart |
