What are common misunderstandings of evangelism?

Kevin Swanson explains in this video that the idea that evangelism is a set group of four statements followed by a prayer is a harmful aspect of modern day evangelism.
Instead, we need to see evangelism as the entire Gospel of Christ, where a man sees his sin, he comes to repentance, and seeks forgiveness in Christ. That is the Gospel of Christ. It involves all 66 books of the Bible.

Another problem is that people act differently when they're among unbelievers. What they say and do changes the moment when they're not surrounded by Christians. Christians must faithfully and consistently live out the Gospel at all times. You cannot act one way while you're at church and then in a completely different manner when you are at home or at the local grocery store. As a Christian, you take your worldview wherever you go.

2 Timothy 1:8 (NKJV) – “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God”

Our Lord's last command is our first priority. In the church, in the family, in the city, to the ends of the earth. Join us in October for White Under Harvest. This idea that evangelism is a set group of four statements and then a prayer at the end is one of the more harmful aspects of modern-day evangelism. We have to see evangelism as the full-orbed gospel of Christ, where a man is faced with his sins, a man is faced with his misunderstandings concerning the nature of God, concerning the nature of reality, concerning the nature of law, and he needs to come to repentance, a change of heart and mind in these areas, and then seek forgiveness in Christ and the power of his blood and resurrection in his life in this area, in this area, in this area, in this area, in all the areas of the laws of God as expressed in the Old New Testaments.

That's the gospel of Christ, and it involves all 66 books. Okay, another problem is that people have this impression that you have to talk about the four propositions with the grocery clerk as you walk out of the store. No, no, no. You're supposed to be living the gospel and expressing the gospel all the time. It is effectively your worldview.

When they say good luck, you don't say good luck, you say God bless you. When they say great day today, you say yes, what a wonderful day God has made. In other words, God makes it into your language all the time, and you need to speak the same way you speak in your home with your Christians, with others, as you would speak in the world around you. You bring your worldview with you everywhere you go, so don't separate out that pietistic God stuff and put that in Sunday or put that in family worship and then live a different personality the rest of the day. No, no, no, you bring God with you.

You bring the reality of God and his creation and his providence and His redemption with you
