Kevin Swanson explains in this video distinguishing between evangelism and discipleship is important. The preaching of the Word of God is the primary way to communicate the Gospel and then it's important to follow up and continue to disciple new Christians in the faith.

Revelations 22:18 (NKJV) - "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book."

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. What is the difference between discipleship and evangelism? Distinguishing between discipleship and evangelism is a problem.

People see that evangelism is something different. Sometimes people drag nets, but they won't pull the fish into the boat. That's a problem. When you have people out there doing what I call kamikaze evangelism, that is, they run in and they throw a track on the table and they split, and there's no conversation whatsoever, you wonder if there's ever going to be much that penetrates into the hearts and minds of people out there. I think the preaching of the Word of God is a primary means whereby people come to the knowledge of the truth.

It's not going to be through tracts. And we have put a lot of resources into tracts, a lot of time into passing out tracts, a lot of time into door-to-door evangelism. The preaching of the Word of God in the public forum is probably the most effective means by which people are converted and brought to a saving knowledge of Christ. Let's get the word out by means of the preaching. That's Romans 10.
