Okay, I know it says, "Go ye into all the world making disciples of all nations....."
However few among us actually do THAT so where does it say we have to go to our neighbor who few people know anyway?

The best way to witness to people is to live what the bible teaches. going around and literally talking to people about your faith just turns them off. If you live a life that stands out and people see that you are different then they will come to you . Jesus never went to people like Christians do today. yes he preached a lot, but he did it in the from of his religious system at the time. He preached in the public places they had at that time for public speaking.

Do you have a personal relationship with the Lord? I really cant see why anyone who knows him wouldnt want to tell everybody about him. If you have trouble witnessing, just ask him to give you the words he want's you to say. To be a good Christian I think is impossible. After what he done! We can only be the best we can, and he knows our hearts. And there are plenty of way's to serve him.

To be good and be true christian do this: Join the true religion and follow all the teachings of God and Jesus Christ in the bible. You should be a true followr of Jesus Christ as as the name christiahn came from the name of Jesus which is Christ, Jesus Christ.
You do not need to go from house to house now tht we have the modern way to go to every community in the world b y means of communication and the internet. Every body who wanted to preach the world of God to the whole nation could use the internet.

In being a Christian and following the teachings of the Word, you will minister to others, it is not getting deep or in the pulpit, but it could be by listening and referring a person who needs uplifted in the spiritual sense. If someone is having a bad day or personal problems you may recite a scripture to them or invite them to church...

yes, you do have to witness, but only to the people God has called you to. the best form of witnessing though IS to follow the teachings of the Bible because then your life will automatically reflect God. so...yes in a way all you have to do is follow the teachings of the Bible. but, if someone asks you for help finding God, you should help them. lol

You do not HAVE to witness. However, if you truly believe that you can be saved then you would have a testimony that you would probably want to share.
I have a very strong testimony of God and His love for me. I hold it sacred, not secret. I only tell those who want to hear of it, otherwise I am just opening myself up to criticism from those who have no beliefs. I do not want my belief in God to be scarred from others close mindedness. However those scars make the testimony stronger...

The Lord said we are to be fishers of men! That is what Jesus did and we are to be Christ like so yes, to be a good Christian you must share your faith with others! Why would you not want to??

To be a good Christian is to keep private your beliefs between you and God, so to display your beliefs to others simply is not important and the rewards from the father are nil, peace be with you.
