Bible Note: Debbie The people potentially lost are those who are searching for a relationship with God, and have not fully found it through Jesus - but are trying to within a Christian church. I intentionally used the word recruit, because I am focusing the question on one Christian denomination trying to draw new membership directly from another Christian denomination. This is not witnessing to a non-Christian or reaching out to an unchurched. If I say to you, my denomination is a better way, I am, without saying another word, declaring that your denomination is inferior to mine. If you try my denomination and then move on - will your relationship with Jesus be strong enough to keep you within the Christian community. Would you be lost anyway? Or did I contribute to your being lost by adding dissatisfaction? Brian |
