How to witness to a "Christian"

Statistics have shown that 85% of Americans claim to be "Christians". That may mean that this percentage of people attend Christian or catholic churches. But it certainly doesn't appear that many are truly born again believers. Instead, they believe that they have done "good-works" in the sight of the Lord. Good-works such as attending church, or baptism, tithing, taking communion, confession with a priest, or giving money to the poor.

So when you approach a person to share the gospel and they immediately cut you off and say, "I am already a Christian" don't stop there.

I like to ask these people, "do you share you faith with others?" If they say yes or no, ask "what would you tell them?" This will demonstrate their understanding of the gospel. Or you can ask them, "if you went in front of God on judgment day and God asked why He should let you into His heaven, what would you say?

You'll find that most will say they are going to heaven because they are a "good person". So give them the "good person test" (see blog post below) the 10 commandments. Quickly, they will realize that they are not good and in desperate need of a savior.
