Y'all,
Hey there I just want to hit one area and talk about that area. In Acts
5:27-29 it saids And when they had brought them they set them before the council: and
the high priest asked them. Saying did not we straitly command you that ye should not
teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend
to bring this man's blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and
said, We out to obey God rather then men." Know here is the point I will hit on, yes
I think that someone shouldn't yell out loud in a voice toward a crowd or something
about Jesus. For it may turn someone away, however if God is leads someone to do
something. What right do we have to say this is how you will do Witnessing and how
you won't? We should not tell someone how to tell someone about Jesus
