The Bible does not command door to door soul-winning

[Torrent v.2]

just gonna toss my hat in the ring here.  Lots of points have already been made - so just stating:

Why would anyone be against speaking to another concerning the Gospel whether it be a neighbor for whom you rake leaves, a hungry person who needs food, or a stranger on whose door you knock?

We have a responsibility to share the Gospel.  Period.  Why argue over which method is most effective for me?  Just share the Gospel!

Right.

Our church does door to door. And it does Somali literacy classes for the two 20 story apartment buildings across the street with Somalis in it.  And it has an auto repair ministry, and a thrift store mininstry, and dozens of others, all designed to reach out ot people in the varied way that people are gifted, so that they can share the gospel.

People who think door to door is the only authorized way can not support it biblically.

I don't know anyone who would say that door to door soul winning is the only authorized way to reach people.

Ah, but they do, in a way. They say that if you are not doing it, you are not following God's plan for the church.

Any attempt to preach the pure gospel to a creature is acceptable.  Any overlooked possibility is a failure.  We all have failed.

True, but it has very little to do with the question at hand.

Surely not, but to say that a church that doesn't use door to door isn't obedient to Scripture is just as foolish!
