SOUL WINING SIMPLY REFERS TO THE PRACTICE OF TRYING TO PREACH AND LEAD LOST SINNERS TO THE SAVING GRACE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED. MATT 28:19-20.
NOTE THIS:
1. SOUL WINNIG IS NOT A CALL, IT IS A COMMAND(MENT)
2. NO MATTER WHO WE ARE OR WHAT WE DO, WE MUST AS A POINT OF DUTY SHARE CHRIST WITH SOMEONE.

THE GREATEST HINDRANCE TO WORLD EVANGELISM IS THE INCONSISTENT LIVES OF PROFESSING CHRISTIANS, CHURCH MEMBER WHOSE LIVES ARE STUMBLING BLOCKS INSTEAD OF BEING STEPPING STONES.

2. THOSE WHO ARE SAVED BUT ARE NOT ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE WORD OF GOD. THEY ARE NOT EVEN FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
A SOUL WINNER MUST BE SAVED TO SAVE OTHERS.
