  Yes, that is the spiritual condition they were in when they did it. But thats not "how" they did it. Paul did run through the streets of Rome screaming repentance - He became like the Romans. If any of these daring evangelists commits sin to "fit in" with their teenage crowd, then its wrong.
  
  I dont know artm or bmweis, but i would guess based on statistics that they watch non-christian television or listen to non-christian radio in the privacy of their own home or vehicle, so why cant these folks do that with these lost young people. Better them than some of the other folks Ive seen out there entertaining our young people and they can share their testimony at the same time! -thom

  "artm" I completely agree with your comment above. It's been said in our church, what you save them with is what you save them to. And what kinda got me is the quote, "you really can't tell the difference between the ones who go to church and the ones who don't" and that's exactly what is wrong with most churches today, their is no reverance for Christ alone and his saving grace. It's the living and active Word of God which saves, not some cool or hip secularized event. Brandon in San Diego

  What is being done to bring these young people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ ? If that is not the purpose then its a waste of time. You will never win the lost by using worldly methodes. Try Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, Thats how Jesus did it, and thats how the disciples did it. Art
