The SALT Method of Evangelism

Using the acronym S-A-L-T to tell the Gospel of Christ.

[@shethatreadsmj]

This is honestly the most helpful evangelism resource that I have found. The books I've read and some of the other videos I've watched just weren't touching on what I wanted to know. THANK YOU for making this video.

[@DaveSterrett]

Thank you for your kind words. For further explanation, check out my book that explains it in detail www.amazon.com/Jesus-Conversations-Effective-Everyday-Engagement/dp/1683073126/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YFR4APR53X61&keywords=jesus+conversations&qid=1699543883&sprefix=jesus+converastions+%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1

Praise the Lord!

[@NeedGodnet]

Would love to encourage more Christians to share the gospel! Come join us! God bless!

[@eltonron1558]

Most Christians don't know it. Couldn't just read it and repeat. Mk. 1:14-15.

thanks a lot ,I am teaching mission and evangelism a few days from now but this helpful

Lord Jesus ... Let love rain, like sweet mercy from heaven. Let mercy flow like waves and waves flowing richly from the heart of God. May love arise ... may mercy come forth ... may love and mercy bring forth hearts of compassion. Compassion for the lost, compassion for the thirsty, compassion for the hungry, compassion for the poor, compassion for the homeless, compassion for others. Not in just words or deeds done, but from the depths of the heart seeking to give Glory to God through open arms embracing the needs of others. May we look with the heart of God. May we see with his eyes or mercy and compassion and may we do all things to His Glory. For the river of God is love, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is sweet mercy, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is compassion, may they see it in our eyes, hear it from our hearts and see it through open arms embracing the needs of others. --- May we place others even before ourselves and all love like Jesus.

Thank you

Nice words but not the gospel.

[@SavedbyGrace-i5s]

Amen

[@spiritman-em4qr]

Yep. I employ this method regularly. Most people get stuck on the "S" but once you get past that, it's not difficult at all, but you have to know the gospel and be able to commuincate it efficiently and clearly.

[@beztintentionz8908]

@spiritman-em4qr I agree this is a simple method and easy to remember when opportunity is presented before us. So simple! My problem had been that my own self doubt never got me to S…that I wasn’t knowledgeable enough to share the gospel. But that is just a lie to keep myself from engaging. All Christian brothers and sisters be bold in the Spirit, through regular communion with the Lord. The Spirit will guide your conversations. 2 Timothy 1:6-8 (a paraphrase) “…fan into the flame the gift of God, which is in you….For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord…”

Thank you bro.

[@colonalklink14]

Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of "eternal life" to all who trust Him alone for salvation. He paid for all the sins of all the world at the cross (past, present, and future). That payment is put to your account when you have believed on Christ alone for salvation. This means that saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ "alone" for salvation.

[@eltonron1558]

This evangelism thing, is uncomfortable. I haven't yet met, or heard any evangelist repeat the gospel as Christ did after John the Baptist. If the gospel isn't Mk. 1:14-15, it's NOT the gospel taught by Christ. Only one gospel? I would like to suggest the repeated gospel according to Christ, so that another gospel doesn't become the gospel, and prevent the return of Christ. Mt. 24:14. In the current era of Christianity, another gospel is being called the gospel, bless their mortal hearts.

[@Wren-g4h]

I know what you mean. Though I do see that Peter preached the gospel to the temple crowd and to the centurion's family in a way similar to how Paul preached it. But yeah I don't hear people teaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, nor teaching us to become disciples of Jesus, as I think we ought to become (Matt 28:20, Acts 11:26, 1 John 2:6). As far as Matt 24:14 goes, also consider Revelation 14:6-7. There will be an angel that will preach the gospel to the whole earth before the end. So I'm not sure that we're holding things up by not preaching enough. I know it's our responsibility to go make disciples now for sure

[@eltonron1558]

@Wren-g4h Very good, however, concerning Paul. Every time someone says Paul is doing the gospel in 1Cor. 15:1-4, I have to remind he speaking past tense about the gospel, and the teaching of salvation as first learned. For he clearly declared the gospel exactly as Christ long before the letters. Acts 28:31. Also, the simplicity of the gospel, is ignored in favor of the complicated lengthy need for a savior gospel. Thy kingdom come, is the gospel. LOOK. THE IRONY, of simplicity. Same letter. 1Cor. 15:23-24, simple gospel fulfilled, kingdom delivered up, the END. Why can't Christianity believe what Jesus says is the gospel? It's the obsession with controlling God, and their own Lord's day? By Sunday Christianity, according to, has become of, is about. Prepositions of Satan.

[@Wren-g4h]

@@eltonron1558 what I find is that there's no preaching of becoming a disciple of the kingdom of heaven, a full disciple of Jesus. But originally all the Christians were disciples (acts 11:26). Jesus said some extreme costs for being a full disciple, and mentioned extreme rewards. And Jesus' instructions to the disciples and to the crowds also include to obey the Law of Moses (Matthew 23:1-3, Matthew 5:19). I agree that it's strange that interpretations of Paul are taught instead of the direct commands of our Savior, annuling His words. Also like how people will tell you it's ok to be a missionary, but you must deal with money in some way, and they'll say to work in the world to be like Paul with his tentmaking. But Jesus commanded every disciple of His to leave all possessions and to not carry money or supplies with them when they go (at least in those cases). I want to have faith to do that, but people get anxious or upset and want me to become a disciple of Paul instead of a disciple of Jesus. I guess it's foreign because it's not taught The other thing is that some denominations seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit that the disciples had. But they do it without becoming disciples and without living fully holy (ignoring the Sabbath and feast days, eating abominations, etc.) Some of them do really get revelations and power for healing and casting out demons, but I've learned the hard way that many of them are operating those things through other spirits. It started to happen to me until I noticed it was a different spirit. If you want to heal the sick and cast out demons, you gotta become a disciple of Jesus, which is still open to everyone (Matthew 28:20, Matthew 16:24). We can do some of it by faith as we are now, but the complete authority to do it comes when we're full disciples, which includes giving up all our own possessions like in Luke 14:33 (in the right timing/way, led by Him)

[@Wren-g4h]

@@eltonron1558 Concerning how Christians worship on Sunday and ignore the Sabbath, it's interesting to me how they quote Hebrews and claim Jesus is our Sabbath rest, but the passage actually says we need to be careful to not mess up by lacking faith so we can enter into the final rest, which is mentioned in Revelation 14:13. Or they will quote Paul and say the kingdom of heaven is not in festivals or food, which contradicts Jesus (Matthew 5:19) and the Prophets (Zechariah 14:16, Isaiah 66:23, Isaiah 66:17 for example, plus all the new covenant prophecies of keeping the law again) and the prophecies in the Law itself (Deuteronomy 30:8, when israel is gathered in, they will again keep the law, which means we who are gathered with them will keep it too due to Numbers 15:15-16). The kingdom of heaven also does have eating and drinking in it, and the Passover, considering Luke 22:15-16 I don't understand why many Christians seem allergic to the Most High's holy days but will cling to every tradition and statute of secular/pagan holidays, when God commanded us to not worship Him in the manner of the pagans (Deuteronomy 12:29-31). It is difficult to give up worldly things but John says we should love the Father and not the world

[@eltonron1558]

@Wren-g4h My understanding of the confusion, is not dividing scripture rightly. The scripture that all scripture is good for instruction, reproof, and correction, is too vague, for my instruction has always been, Jesus/God, as instruction, apostles and prophets as reproof, and what doesn't jive exactly with the instruction, is given to the correction. The correction being Jesus/God, since we are talking way, truth, and life. Paul contradicts Jesus many times, however, in terms of understanding, it's in zeal, allegory, or metaphor. Example: Paul says somewhere, "Today is the day of salvation ". WWJD? What did Jesus say? Mt. 10:22,24:13, none are saved, until the end. Another thing. He is not commanding the law of Moses, but the ten commandments, for there is a HUGE difference. The law of Moses, are the laws given directly to Moses in private. Moses only wrote how the entire crowd of 12 tribes of Israel HEARD God declare the ten commandments, thus, Mt. 4:4, nit the 660 plus laws of Moses, done away by the new covenant, the ten commandments written on the hearts of the truly converted. Heb. 10:16.

This is a fail. What if the was going to die next day? Your SALT method fails. This man’s rationale. Better acronym is PCSRRP. Problem is sin Consequence is death Solution is Jesus Response is confess, believe Result is justified and sanctification Promise is eternity w God Try it. It will take you 3 minutes to present the gospel not just start a conversation.

[@DaveSterrett]

Joel, once and it while I get these type of responses calling a video of mine a "Fail". But if you go through the whole series of videos and read the book, "Jesus Conversations" we talk about those other aspects of the gospel that you mentioned. But SALT is just a tool. PCSRRP isn't a real word and people won't likely memorize it. I could easily nitpick with your definition and say, "Well there's no mention of the resurrection" and does not meet the biblical criteria of 1 Cor 15. No mention of the deity of Christ in PCSRRP? Fail! But I get it, you're just highlighting aspects and in real conversations, you can defend the resurrection or deity. SALT is a real word and easy to memorize. "S" Start a Conversation. "A" Ask questions. "L" Listen. and "T" Tell the story.
