- Well this article does have several references and its certainly long enough now to warrent its own article. What's the problem? Homestarmy 14:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

This is not Neutral. It reads like an advertisement or training guide for this specific program. I'm actually not sure if "Biblical Evangelism" is the best title for this article - the very title implies that this is the only or correct method of evangelism. Many Christians - most Christians, historically speaking, would disagree even with this definition of evangelism. Puddleglum 06:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Historical perspective
Hello. I have made some edits here to try and make the article in more context and show some perspective of how this approach to evangelism differs from many current trends. The one thing that I did think needed to be addressed is that Comfort's approach is not new - there is a rich historical heritage that supports this kind of thing. No one program "owns" it, but many surely have practiced it without the exact terminology. More neutral - less like an advertisement - a worthy goal.Brian0324 16:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I have to agree with Brian. I'm studying Christian history as well as the history of the reformation and Ray Comfort clearly is not introducing something new. He is simply moving back to Christian roots. To make a false assertion that most Christians would be against this definition of evangelism is unsubstantiated and absurd. Biblical Evangelism is the best name for this page because the phrase is popularized and coined by the Way of the Master ministry. 142.167.236.41 04:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Sarah
