How important is your own personal credibility in your spreading of the gospel?

Is it important that you be perceived as an honest and sincere person?





What do you suppose happens to your credibility with others when you make unsupportable faith-based assertions to non-believers?





BQ: What might be a more effective means of drawing others to Christ, besides making unsupportable faith-based assertions, that would preserve your own personal integrity and credibility with others?|||My credibility is very important to me, which is why I don't "spread" Bronze Age mythology passed off as reality.|||"By their fruits you will recognize them" Yes, it is very important that we "Shine" as examples of Christian faith. "You do not obtain good fruit from a bad tree, nor do you get bad fruit from a good tree"



If we recommend ourselves as Christ's people, but we inflict our consciences on others, without regard for their level of knowledge, we are not really demonstrating agape love. We need to watch how we teach others, not considering ourselves as first.



Our actions speak volumes about us. If we recommend ourselves as ambassadors of Christ, we need to put on the "New Personality". Old habits and ways will leave us, and we will be refreshing to those that meet us. Philippians: 4-8 shows us the things we should consider.

The scriptures say "Knowledge puffs up, love builds up". We might not know every scripture, but our Christian love, if genuine, will draw people to us, and we can share our love of God and His word with them.



We will preserve our own personal integrity and credibility by living the things we teach. Hypocrisy is a turn-off.|||If I am speaking my truth and my opinion, I am fertilizing the roses



If God can use a donkey to get his word out....He can use me.



It is His word, His will, His work...I am merely a vessel



God draws all, no one is convinced to be Christian by a smile and a wink.



They draw near to God, or they don't



we are merely the messenger|||Follow Jesus example. Know the scriptures well and answer all questions w/the Bible and not your own personal ideas. CONVICTION is key, if you don't believe it yourself, how can others believe it?



(John 17:17) Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth.



Luke 4:8聽In reply Jesus said to him: 鈥淚t is written, 鈥業t is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.|||I am very honest...most can see that but I am not nearly as important as the good news itself....MY SURENESS COULD make ppl upset....THE BIBLE IS ALL TRUE so consider repenting..
