I think we view evangelism different then they do. We preach the gospel so that men may be born anew/have a heart conversion rather them come join our church. They look at salvation as becoming a member of the CC. I was un-churched and committed my life to Christ in Aug of 1973.It was a lifestyle change. My best friend/druggy coworker came to Christ about the same time.Our co-workers wondered what happened to us as us we started telling others of Jesus’s plan of salvation…The Holy Spirit used the few verses of a simple gospel tract to draw me to Him…A few years later a Holy Spirit experience that set my faith on fire. I shared the gospel message with hundreds over the years…We have a few Catholics who attend our small country church. One man who befriended our pastor was ( I guess a cultural catholic) had a powerful born anew/conversion of the heart experience. This man is one fire, so much so his brothers,mom and dad came to visit twice to see what was affecting him. I do think individual Catholics should do more evangelization per say…For an example, I for a large part of my life lived/worked in a small town heavily populated with a lot of Italian catholics…In over 40 years of walking with Christ I never had one Catholic approach me and speak to me about the gospel…I’ve had plenty of regular bible church people, JW’s and a few Mormons.Catholics could learn a lot from Evangelicals on the “how to” of evangelization.
Keeping people away from the Body and Blood of Christ is not pleasing to God.Catholics could learn a lot from Evangelicals on the “how to” of evangelization.
