Politics, Salvation, and Evangelism - Views on The Christian Life

For many Christians (and non-christians) there are questions regarding specific areas of doctrine which can be difficult to work through and understand, or even follow.  Tonight we will examine a few of these and LORD willing give guidance/answers from HIS Word.

So often we bring in our own views and biases on what it takes to be a Christian, how we are to conduct ourselves toward non-believers, and even how we participate in politics/can we vote/and for whom.  When we start to project these biases toward others, especially those who have positions of influence, if we are not careful we become the Pharisees enslaving others to our own law and not what GOD tells us in HIS Word.  We are told not to go beyond (add to/take away from) what GOD has told us, for when we do, then we go astray.

This program will focus on three areas which have come across my path as questions raised.

1.  Can I be active in politics?  Can I vote for a non-christian or vote for a Christian who does not hold to all "my" doctrine beliefs?

2.  Does a person "have" to believe JESUS is GOD to be saved?  Must it be a Trinitarian view in order for salvation to be true?

3.  Must I as a Christian "evangelize" and if so...what constitues evangelism?
