I would like to outline a simple step-by-step approach that I have used in sharing my faith with others. By following this method I have avoided unnecessary arguments that would have hindered a complete presentation of the gospel.
First, I ask five questions to determine the other person's spiritual condition. During this time I am probing for information, not presenting my case.
Next, I have the person read several key Bible verses and ask what the verses say to him or her. The goal here is not to preach but to allow the Holy Spirit to bring conviction as the person reads and thinks about the truths of Scripture.
The third step is another series of five questions. These summarize the truths of the verses the person has just read, and they call for a decision to receive Christ.
