The speaker discusses the dangers of man-centered evangelism versus God-trusting evangelism. He believes that the mentality of getting people to go through a step-by-step process and pronouncing them saved is man-made and man-centered. He argues that the only way to bring glory to God is to follow the way that God tells us to do it, which involves preaching the gospel and allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work of salvation.

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 mentality that we need to somehow get people to go through this step-by-step process and then proclaim that they're saved, that's probably one of the worst things. Trying to just walk them through the sinner's prayer and then pronounce them saved. Give them a false hope and a false security.

That's, I think, one of the worst things that's, in my experience growing up in the church, that's one of the worst things. We just want to get this card filled out, you know, that says this person made a profession of faith on this day. We somehow proclaimed that they were saved, you know, because they said the sinner's prayer, followed, repeated some words after us. That's a great sin in the church because it's a man-made invention and it is simply man-centered, man-focused, and man-glorifying. We're supposed to be bringing glory to God.

The only way we're going to do that is by doing it in a way that God tells us to do it. And it's not a simple step-by-step, do this, now you're saved. The Holy Spirit has to do a work. You know, we can't ever take the place of the Holy Spirit. We're not the Holy Spirit.

You know, we all know the Scriptures, the Spirit is, you know, like Christ said, the Nicodemus. You don't know where, you know, you can't see the wind, but we see the effects of the wind. We preach the gospel and when God determines that a soul is going to be saved, he does it. He does it through the power of the gospel, but he does it by his spirit. Our job is to preach the gospel.
