Non-Christians don't have the background to understand the symbolic parts of Christian culture. #cprt
As CPers, we need to introduce those symbolic parts at the appropriate time. We must deculturalize the Gospel to spread the Gospel. #cptr
The Gospel is tough enough on its own. When we add culture to it, it is really tough to swallow. #cprt
Where in the Bible is an example of the Sinner's Prayer. In Acts, baptism was the profession of faith. #cprt
It is not our perspective of the Gospel that counts. It is the lost people's perspective that ultimately counts in CP. #cprt
If we want to see rapidly multiplying churches, we have to set aside revivalism of the 19th century for heart to heart connection. #cptr
Just because you hand out Bibles, literature, tracts, and preach, that doesn't mean anyone is listening. Need to build relationship. #cprt
When sharing the Gospel - start with creation not Christ. Why start in the middle of the story? #cprt
looking at the "Counter Intuitives" of CPM's -go slow to go fast Jesus focused on 12 men for 3.5 years. Focus on the few to win many-#CPRT
an inexperienced insider is more effective than a highly trained, mature outsider #CPRT
an other Counter Intuitive -it's about discovery not preaching or teaching- Jesus asked questions #CPRT
Obedience is more important than knowledge. Eve had the choice between obeying God or having the knowledge of God. #cprt
We've been pushing knowledge of God for a long time. How's it worked for the church? We need to obey what we know. #cprt
-obedience is better than Knowledge- in the garden of Eden Satan says "seek knowledge God is holding out on you" God simply asks obedien ...
@johnkking Asked: @OnlineDisciples What kind of response did David get to the statement about baptism as the profession of faith, not sinner's prayer?
@OnlineDisciples - Not sure. Everyone is listening intently. #cprt

rrgd/nzCJDavid Parrish is talking about the impact of CPM methodologies in Honduras. In the last two weeks they've seen 2nd Generation groups. #cprt
We've had places with 15 generations of Bible Studies before any became churches. #cprt
The discipleship process begins with lost people. Peter was a disciple long before he made the great confession. #cprt
We want to convert people to Jesus then teach them how to be Christians. That is opposite of what happened in the Gospel. #cprt
The best time for churches to plant new churches is when they are new. #cprt
We keep believers in a knowledge mode for so long that they are incapable of bearing fruit. #cprt
Church buildings typically kill church planting activities. #cprt
When you start paying the pastor, you might as well write off church planting. You won’t start another church until you have a paid pastor.
If you have a CP model that is based on paying anyone, you've just limited your growth to the amount of money you can raise. #cprt
Comment form @danielcberman about a min ago:
@OnlineDisciples excellent point, the same can also be said for training. Churches often want trained people, without the cost....
David "I've come to the conclusion that the personal evangelism model is from Satan." Is God's plan to become enemies of your family? #cprt
how many people have been lost to the love of God because we used wrong non-Biblical methodologies?#CPRT
The reality is, crusade type evangelism does not work.
Although many in the room participated in Billy Graham crusades, none could say they saw increases in church attendance or cp. #cprt
Church Planting Movements focus on ordinary people not professional or vocational Christians to plant churches#CPRT
Buildings kill church planting. The moment it is “our” building – it becomes walls that wall off the community. #cprt
Expect the hardest places to yield the greatest results. #cprt
