A common misconception is that Jehovah's Witnesses go from door-to-door because they feel it is their duty to get a householder to "convert". In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses would go from door-to-door even if there were no hope that anyone would change their religion, or even if no one would listen to them!

That is because Jesus Christ specifically assigned the house-to-house ministry to the Christian congregation, with no regard for specific results.

(Luke 10:1,2) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.

Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to direct attention to the bible, and move on when their message is unwanted. Since each congregation in the United States tries to call at every home in its territory at least twice each year, there is strong motivation for them to move on where little interest is shown. Also, the Scriptures help the Witnesses to expect little interest from most:

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

i'm uncertain no remember in case you mean Evangelist or Evangelical. An evangelist is a individual who announces Christ (like a minister or lay speaker.) Billy Graham is an evangelist. An evangelical is a christian who's strongly committed to sharing their faith in a private way with human beings they meet interior the traditional path of their existence. Many, nonetheless no longer all, evangelicals are additionally charismatic. maximum evangelical church homes have very cutting-edge centers. maximum charismatic church homes even have cutting-edge centers yet would additionally contain factors that look fantastically unusual for a Catholic. Charismatics many times contain conversing in tongues, therapeutic centers, and a sort of alternative issues. One team even handles snakes of their provider. that's fantastically complicated to characterize a church or a individual as evangelical or charismatic on the inspiration of a single ingredient of their provider. There are, btw, charismatic and evangelical Catholics. Do a google seek and additionally you wil see.

JEsus said spread the word and convert the masses.

But I think he expected a slightly different approach.

He did, however, say walk for door to door, spread the word.

But you're supposed to do it with nothing in your pockets as no home base of operation.

Because they believe they should "witness" the wonders of Jesus Christ.

Because they feel that we need to be "saved."

Because they are idiots.

BTW: Not all Protestant churches do this.
