3 reasons why inviting people to 'church' is not an effective way to introduce them to the gospel:
1- Most contemporary unchurched people are afraid to go to a church meeting, because they perceive it as a gathering of self-holy people, and they know they themselves are not.
2- Most church meetings are characterized by a culture that is strange, and therefore frightening to the unchurched.
3- Inviting an unbeliever to 'church' has the potential of confusing the issue of salvation, because he is likely to think that attending a religious event will help make him acceptable to God.
