Re: Making it personal with non christians
If your point is that we should care about people, instead of just reading from some "evangelizing script to try to save someone", then I couldn't agree with you more.
It reminds me of a story...
I was at a party, and was with my BIL who is a pastor. A guy he knew, came over, and was talking to him about some evangelizing thing the guy was doing. And I still remember this guy saying that "he saved over a hundred people" during that meeting, or whatever it was.
It took all I had to bite my tongue, and not respond to this misguided stranger. HE saved over a hundred people, did he? Was it some kind of contest, to see who could save the most people?
First off, God does the saving. How egotistical is it to think he actually saved anyone from anything.

Re: Making it personal with non christians
Yes, thats my point 
I know this isnt a social club forum (yet...
kidding! ) but I believe God still wants us to care on a personal level..otherwise we are just talking a numbers game....e.g 'I saved a 100 and don't care who they are...'
Ive seen that happen in my old church
