I think you guys are missing the point.

1. This is not meant to be an exclusive list.
2. It is meant for MATURE leaders serious about reaching the unchurched and unsaved.
3. It assumes the reader understands the core principles of the faith.
4. It is meant to stimulate thinking among people are open and teachable and want to learn.
5. It is about reaching people outside the walls of the church where the stuff of life happens.
6. It advocates demonstrating the heart of God in the way you relate to them (see withreach)
7. It meets people as Jesus did, where they are, not where you might expect them to be.

I firmly believe, if practiced by Christians with honor and compassion, incarnational withreach would go much further in reaching this generation than circling the wagons, holding up in clubhouse churches, arguing over hair-splitting issues, preaching to the choir, and wondering why no one comes, while the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
