Seven rules I use. Let me know what you would add.

1) Treat them with respect. Don't talk down to them.
2) They are a real person, not a project.
3) Their opinion is as valuable as yours. (at least pretend it is) - LOL
4) Listen! You have two ears and one mouth, use them proportionately.
5) Earn the right to be heard. Don't preach.
6) They don't speak Christianese. Leave the church talk at church.
7) Be up-front about your faith. It's an aspect of your life.

Why would anyone take that advice from a Bible attacker?

You don't know that stevie said "I don't trust the Bible"?
Should he trust what you say about the Bible? If so, why?

More germane to the subject of the thread, why should any non-believer listen to what you say about God, Jesus, sin, and the Bible?

Stevie doesn't believe anyone who quotes the Bible. He said so.

Because I'm pulling them out of the fire! Do you feel a tug on your leg?

You should never talk to a Non-Christian about their need of Salvation, as you teach a Satanic Gospel (Universalism) and if they believe you then you just sent them to Hell with it. @St. SteVen
Are you claiming that they weren't lost until I talked to them?

Your "gospel" is of the Devil.
See, the Devil will teach that you dont have to be forgiven and born again on this earth before you die, and you can still go to heaven.

That is your Gospel of "Universalism".
So, everytime you try to prove it here on CB-Board, or anytime you offer it to a lost hell bound sinner on the Street or anywhere else, you are doing the Devil's work.. @St. SteVen

If this is not clear enough for you to understand.... then just let me know and i can make it even more clear for you.

You changed horses midstream.
First you told me that sharing Universalism with someone would send them to hell.
Now you claim sinners are hell-bound BEFORE I speak to them.
Yes, please clarify.

Sin isn't allowed into Heaven.
So, a person has to be forgiven their sin, to go to heaven.
If their sin is not forgiven before they die, then Hell is where they end up, as there is no other place for a Christ Rejector to go.

Universalism denies all this......and replaces being forgiven and being born again with........"everyone is already redeemed".
So, that a lie.
Its a false Gospel.
