.....but the Church doesn't. Read this passage from 'The Complete Book Church Growth[ETowns]' I caught on one of the Ministries official website. This is what Church means by 'Soul Winning Evangelism'.
"Ortiz (a charismatic), speaks to pastors about this issue when he deals with the misplacement of the believer. Each believer needs to know his place in the body. Most church congregations are not a spiritual building, but a mountain of bricks. There is a difference. However good the materials may be, if they are not situated in their right place and correctly related to one another, there is no building.
Each member of the congregation is a brick. The evangelists are continually bringing in new bricks. The pastor encourages this, even teaching classes on soul winning. Bring in more bricks, he urges. But bricks are not a building. Instead of a builder, the pastor now becomes a caretaker of bricks."
Look at the method of bringing in new believers into the Church. This intention of the church is of course a method to convert the new believers. Calculated moves. Clever ways to avoid being termed as 'forcible' conversion even when they impose church views on innocent/ignorant 'believers.'
