Love and compassion for your community?Or do you do it so that you'll be having more riches after you die?
If I try to tell someone about my personal beliefs(which I rarely ever do unless I am on here or someone asks),its because I love and care for that person.It makes me sad to know that some people out there just spread word about their personal beliefs only because they think that after wards they'll be living the good life.I know,you have every right to do so,but its still abit selfish .

I only approach others under unction or nudging of the Holy spirit in my community and if it wasn't for that then I wouldn't do it at all. It's all about obedience and as for me I don't do it for just love nor compassion and definitely not for the good life in the afterlife but only because I am commanded too and I must obey and trust God to do the rest. I firmly believe that believers must let their light shine so that those who are lost will be drawn then God does the rest not me. I can only tell them what they ask of me and that's the truth. My goal on this site is to learn from other believers and not to convert nor to seek out those who are lost. Some believers may call me selfish for not reaching out but this section for me to be enlighten by others who are on a spiritual journey as I.
Shalom

After I called out on GOD and got Saved, I had a Real Desire in my Heart to Save Everybody (cause Love (Jesus) came to Live inside of my Heart). That is Jesus's Desire, to Save Everybody. I didn't Learn about the Rewards Thing in Heaven, Till many Years Later.
I really don't Think about the Rewards much, I Still have an Honest Desire just to Tell the Truth (Jesus) to People.

I do not find myself witnessing in an attempt to gain some sort of Heavenly reward. If i recall correctly from scripture, the only thing we will do with the crowns we receive is toss them back to God's feet to honor Him. "Riches" in heaven other than the spiritual wealth of direct communion with God will be meaningless. In person, I am very private so i rarely witness unless I am very close to the person or unless I am asked direct questions.

I don't try to win souls. People should believe in whatever they feel is right. I don't say anything unless I'm asked. It isn't wrong to believe in something else. Besides for all I know they could be right. Whatever happens to me after I die, well so be it, I can't change it, whether it is heaven, hell, reincarnation, simply decomposing I don't care.

My reward in heaven is already waiting for me. I preach the gospel because God has ordained me to do so, and obeying God is what I am supposed to do. If all Christians would do what they are supposed to do, then Christianity would have more respect around the world and everybody would not be trying to kill us.

I don't really think about rewards, I just do it because Jesus told us to and he said if we love Him, we should keep his commandments.

I'm here to save lives, not souls. Does anyone have proof they even exist?

I speak to people about my faith because I am covinced that if they do not listen and turn around from their wayward course they will perish when this system ends

they treat it like a pyramid scheme, the more people u bring to god, the more rewards you get. the more god will love them maybe?
