Is "The Way of the Master" evangelism kind of like the door-to-door method of Jehovah's Witesses?

Question

Just in a public place, as opposed to doorsteps. Your thoughts?

Answer 1

First no Witness of Jehovah can earn salvation.

We do not go in the minstry be it door to door, letter writting, store to store, street witnessing, or any other way

to earn salvation, or 'brownie points'.

We go because it is a command.

We go to show our love for Jehovah, Jesus, and our neighbor.

We go because as Noah, our faith can condemn the world.

As to "The Way of the Master", I will be more impressed if it continues for over 100 years, the way Jehovah's Witnesses have done.

I will be more impressed if all of Christendom practice this the way all of Jehovah's Witnesses continue to do it.

I will be more impressed if all of Christendom could teach the same theology as Jehovah's Witnesses do.

(There is a current question about the reality of hell, Please read the variety of answers from those not Jehovah's Witnesses. They range from No hell, to being removed from God, to tormented forever.)

Answer 2

No, "The Way of the Master" is based upon using the Ten Commandments as a means of helping people realize they are sinners bound for Hell if they do not repent and accept Christ by faith.

Jehovah Witnesses go door to door because they are required to do so in order to obtain their own salvation.

3 Facts Jehovah Witnesses will not tell you at the door (read more facts at website below):

1. THAT all religions except theirs are of Satan, and your Pastor or Priest is under the Devil’s control.

2. THAT the Watch Tower Society is the only source of truth on earth today, and all churches teach error and will be destroyed at Armageddon.

3. THAT the cross is a pagan symbol of sex worship, and that all buildings or persons displaying the cross are likewise pagan. Jehovah’s Witnesses deny that Jesus died on the cross. However, recent “new light” in the WatchTower Magazine now admits they are not certain about the cross, but will continue to deny it anyway.

Answer 3

Scriptural references Jehovah's Witnesses us as to why it is important to preach and how Jesus and his followers preached:

Matt. 24:14 "This good news of the kingdom will be preached to the entire inhabited earth, as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come."

Matt 28: 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of people of all nations, baptizing themin the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things."

Matt 10: 11-15 "Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay thre until you leave. When you are tentering into the house, greet the household; and if the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it, but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you. Wherever anyone does not take you in or listen to your words, on going ouit of the hosue or that city shake the dust off your fee. Truly I say to you, It will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gormorrah on Judgment Day than for that city."

Acts 5: 42 "And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ Jesus."

Acts 20: 20 & 21 "while I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house. But I thoroughly bore witness both to Jews and to Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus."

Answer 4

Jesus and the apostles did both. It was just as Jesus became known, bigger crowds followed him around. He knew what he had to do in a short time period so he put up with it. When he could he had small groups he talked to, but nothing would scare a person more than to have a man knock on your door and look out to see a small army with Jesus. But we know the apostles could and did do house to house witnessing.

Answer 5

Mathew 24:14; 28:19,20
Yes, from door to door, from city to city they went froth bu 2 preaching the Good News of Gods Kingdom to all who would listen.

Answer 6

no, way of the master type stuff is done out of compassion for the lost so they can have the opportunity to escape death and have life in Christ. It is not at all like Jehovah's witness where they only evangelize because they beliee that the more converts you get the more likely you are to be able to become one of the 244,000 people they believe get to go to heaven(wrong). Jesus taught that whoever accepts him gets to go to heaven.

Answer 7

"The Way of the Master?" Sounds like Kung-Fu.

Answer 8

Don't know how they do it, but door to door and public preaching are great.. We do it all the time..

Answer 9

Yeah but I've never seen Jehoavah's Witness scream in peoples faces or get violent.

Answer 10

Don´t know what is that but we did what Jesus commanded and follow the same procedure he did.
