I'm surprised at some of the comments here. I'm not throwing stones when I say that some of you are babes. For one to say that it is somehow not our purpose to lead people to Christ, I would ask : What then is our purpose? One here says "leading people to Christ is the sole purpose of the Holy Spirit" and in where does that Holy Spirit Dwell?" and by what means, provocative or none, are acceptable terms under which one might "catch the attention" of a non-believer.

@kabham001 the gospel of Jesus Christ is not a provocative message. the gospel of Jesus Christ is actually an offense, a cause of stumbling to the disobedient.
