![WITNESSING TO THOSE CAUGHT IN "NEW AGE"
As with any witnessing, get equipped by learning about New Age at GetALifeMedia.com. And then, don’t try to win a debate; instead, love them to Jesus.
It’s a spiritual battle so pray God's Spirit removes the scales from their eyes and the hardness from their heart.
Keep it simple; always avoid Christianeez jargon like, "washed in the blood, glorified, sanctified, justified, or deep fried."
Points to focus on: Our source of authority is the Bible; what is theirs? What about the nature of God, the personal work of Jesus, the nature of man, and the means of salvation. Specifics for New Agers:
Focus on the fact that God is personal and they can have an intimate loving beautiful relationship with God, Who is the one and only God and the Creator of the Universe.
They basically believe Hinduism that says there is a "force." New Age also has some Buddhism, which is more atheistic, with humans ending life as nothing. But the great news is that's wrong, God is real, He's a personal relationship God, and they can have that with Him.
Emphasize relationship because they don't have it. To them it's just the great unknown. Jesus Christ is unique and not one of their avatars. New Agers say Jesus is just like other great teachers.
No, He's not. He is absolutely unique and fully God, as well as fully man. Buddha, Muhammad, and the great confused one [Confucius], did not die for them. Jesus did! So He is radically different! | image tagged in new age,hinduism,buddhism,bible,jesus,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3hvuds.jpg)
![WHY DO ALL FAITHS OTHER THAN CHRISTIANITY REQUIRE WORKS? [1 of 2] As you’d expect from God, He was able to have His teaching put into one instruction book for our lives and it is called the Bible, which is why BIBLICAL Christianity is the only faith with no legalistic list of works required to supposedly earn your own way to heaven. With non-biblical false faiths, don’t you think it’s convenient that you won’t find out until you die, whether all that money you gave and free labor you provided to that cult or religion will even get you to heaven? Then it’s too late to sue them when you end up in hell. And you are so busy trying to get yourself to heaven, and wondering
if you will, that you don’t take time to tell others how to get there. Satan loves that mindset. But God wants more than just you and me in heaven. Our main purpose in life is to get saved and then save others. This is why Christ delays His second coming. Jesus promises: "He who OVERCOMES, I will NEVER blot out his name from the Book of Life (Rev 3:5)." Paul says: "Everyone who is born of God OVERCOMES the world (1 John 4).” Paul explains being born of God: "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." So, why do all other faiths teach man’s ideas that contradict God’s Word in the Bible? Catholicism, Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormonism, Scientology, etc., scare their followers, saying they have to
work for their own salvation and can lose it at any time? | image tagged in god,cult,religion,bible,jesus,faith | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4uirz1.jpg)
![WHY DO ALL FAITHS OTHER THAN CHRISTIANITY REQUIRE WORKS? [2 of 2] Supposedly-Christian (but really non-biblical faiths that are cults) like Catholicism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormonism, Scientology, etc., call Jesus a liar by hanging salvation over their follower's heads. That's why cult followers are often scared to death. Cults want full control so
hey make up requirements for their
followers to reach heaven. Those
works are laid onto the shoulders of their
followers, making them pursue
heaven by their own life of hard work,
stress, and donations to the cult. Even
then,the anxious followers don't know
if they've done enough to reach heaven.
They never have assurance of salvation. So to build the cult, followers knock on doors, hand out pamphlets, attend services, abstain from foods the cult says to, and do all tasks the cult leaders tell them to. Unfortunately, it's often a horrid life where rates of drug and alcohol abuse are high, immorality is way up, and suicide rates are through the roof. Why? Again, it's because of all the legalist requirements the cult uses to scare followers into compliance with cult demands, and it is done by denying Jesus' free salvation. Contrast that with the biblical-Christian faith that relies on the Bible. We have peace knowing we're saved and nothing can change that so we're excited and compelled to share that joy with others. Christ's love compels us. We're glad He did it all and we want to serve
Him. Who wouldn't want to, after what Jesus did for us? | image tagged in cult,bible,god,faith,religion,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4uj2m2.jpg)
