How many of you have had this happen?

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

 

[ArmyMatt]

I have, although more from weird cultists than evangelicals.

 

[ArmyMatt]

usually it’s been those “God-is-mother” cultists.

It hasn't happened to me in a very long time, but at first it would happen occasionally. I spoke with some Mormon missionaries a couple years ago, a couple of times. They haven't been back since I informed them that the "great falling away" (of the Church) as taught in their imposter church is a myth, because this general apostasy, pointed to in Scripture, will only happen immediately prior to the coming of Anti-Christ at the dawn of Armageddon and the end of the ages. Then, I began enlightening them about faithfulness of the saints, along with their "good fruits", throughout the ages of the Church, since they are brainwashed into believing that the apostate Christianity produces "bad trees bearing rotten fruit". They've not returned to my residence since. They're really just kids fresh out of high school. They're commended if they manage to gain proselytes for their communities. We're nothing but targets to them. We ought to simply sew as many seeds in their direction as we're able, and let the Holy Spirit do His work.

I do recall. My girlfriend and her family were JWs. I became intimately acquainted with cult's brainwashing methodology and false claims right out of high school. Those were some tough times, since I'd not received very good formation in the Orthodox Faith prior.

LDS’ I found are much easier to talk to.

These days I think they are, but way back when they first got started they sure ticked a lot of Protestant Christians off.

or invite them in. if they are failing to deceive you, they aren’t duping someone else.

I talked to them when they came to my house and prayed for them. I told them about my Church. They let me pray for them JWs would not

In more than 20 years the only experience of the sort I've had was being handed a business card with some scripture on it and the name of a local Baptist church, by an amiable brother. We chatted a little.

A couple of Landmarkians came to my door a few years back, but I was still in my deist or pantheism phase.

for me, both LDS and the JWs kept coming back for months.

Good point. That's another reason why I usually like talking with them.

I've noticed that there are an awful lot of anti-Trinitarians online in various social media sites these days, thinking they're the true Christians. I usually can't help but refute their belief that Christ is a created being, given how unbiblical and obviously false that teaching is. Still, they insist even in the face of sound reasoning. I comment not so much for their sake, knowing they likely won't recant. I suppose it's more for the sake of others who might otherwise be confused and be lead astray into heresy.

I've been in the drive thru and when I got to the window they said the person in front of you paid for your food and said to give you this. It was a card for Church of the Highlands. It's happened twice.
